Bug Description

When openshot fails to launch, more debug info is needed. Currently, a simple error message is displayed that tells the user to install OpenShot. The actual error is hidden from the user, and this makes trouble shooting a launch failure very difficult.

The /bin/openshot file now has much more detailed error handling, and much better outputting of error messages. If MLT won't import, it will now say so. If a Python 2.5 syntax compatibility issue happens, it will now say so, etc... So, I expect this to dramatically help out users who are having trouble launching OpenShot for 1 reason or another.
