Comment 9 for bug 488717

The next time someone has this problem, please attach the
~/.openshot/config.xml file to this bug. It looks like a bug in our XML
config file, that can no longer be parsed when OpenShot launches. Removing
the .openshot folder will just recreate the file, thus fixing the effects of
the bug. But there is probably some reason the config.xml got messed up in
the first place.

Thanks!
