It's actually an easy fix.
1. su -c 'mv /usr/bin/mlt-melt /usr/bin/mlt-melt.real'
2. Open gedit or your favourite text editor and paste this into a document:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "-query" ]
then
/usr/bin/mlt-melt.real ${1+"$@"} >&2
else
/usr/bin/mlt-melt.real ${1+"$@"}
fi
3. Now save the text file as mlt-melt
4. su -c 'mv ./mlt-melt /usr/bin/mlt-melt'
5. su -c 'chmod +x /usr/bin/mlt-melt'
Fixed!

Nice to see another kdenlive enthusiast! I admit I haven't messed around with 8.4 yet. What can I say? I'm conservative with my updates. But the bottom line is that Kdenlive is the Real Deal. I'd say if anyone tried it pre-8.x then it's definitely worth another look...and as for me, I can't wait to try 8.4 but...I will.
