Where the layer settings (I think) box should be in Pitivi 0.93 in Ubuntu 14.10, there's only a white box.
Terminal output when starting Pitivi:

is dumped when trying to interact with the white box (It can be drug down and strings back).
Changing gnome theme and restart the app changes nothing.
There are two horizontal areas within the white box that respond right click events and show a context menu about moving or deleting a layer.
sudo dpkg -i <path-to-file>
