Bug Description
[Impact]
Some users, mostly users who have installed more software like eg. GStreamer codecs needed for common formats, are unable to start Pitivi on 14.04 LTS, because of a crasher.
[Test Case]
Start pitivi on affected computer.
[Regression Potential]
The original single patch fixed the issue but caused another window to pop up behind the Pitivi window, which was a regression for fresh install users. The new patch set both fixes the crasher and improves the overall Pitivi usage like timeline drawing without regressions.

I just upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) yesterday, and pitivi stopped working. It segfaults immediately, with the following stdout error:
lmilano@
Missing soft dependency:
- pycanberra not found on the system
-> enables sound notifications when rendering is complete
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Apport is not popping up, even if I launch pitivi from the main menu in KDE. But it did, just once, and it dumped a report in /var/crash - I will try to upload that file manually.

I just tested installing the Unity package to see if a more typical Ubuntu installation would not crash, but I had not luck. I'll gladly help with testing if anyone has any ideas of what to try.
