On gentoo, with the kde overlay, I tried the new kdenlive: [ebuild R ~] kde-apps/kdenlive-16.04.1:5::gentoo USE="debug -gles2 -handbook -semantic-desktop -v4l" 0 KiB Several of the main menu entries are titled "Kein Text" and have almost no contents. Also, the Settings Dialog is missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch kdenlive & see the main screen 2. 3. Actual Results: see screen shot, where can I upload it ? Expected Results: The first menu entry might be named "Datei" or "File" and has a exit menu entry.

May you want to head over to the Kdenlive forum? I don't think that the bug tracker is a good place to discuss distro-specific installation issues. If the Kdenlive forum can't help, maybe the Gentoo forum can help?
I came from the kdenlive home page to this bug tracker. Still I do not yet know if (or why) this is a distribution specific issue. Currently I try to downgrade the kdenlive and reinstall the necessary packages.
I found something to resolve it. Did not find the cause, but it did help. I removed this directory ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5 then kdenlive started regularly, with menus.
