Re: kdenlive 26.04.3 aborts

Since the backtrace shows libQt6Gui.so.6 might be the instigator of the
crash I figured I should reboot to make sure no stale shared libs
involved.

Turns out that 'pkg upgrade' hosed a lot more than kdenlive
I had to rollback to a few days ago, to get a working system again.

So I'm back to kdenlive-25.12.1

and will be shy of upgrading anything for a while...
