Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

when switching vlc to fullscreen mode the xfce panel stays visible. I have my xfce panel on the left.
I use two Monitors (1680x1050 & 1024x768).
But vlc does NOT have windows-borders in fullscreen mode (another bug).
The xfce panel seems to be on top of the video.

This bug was fixed in the package vlc - 1.0.4-1ubuntu1

---------------
vlc (1.0.4-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * merge from debian. Remaining changes:
    - build and install the libx264 plugin
    - add Xb-Npp header to vlc package

vlc (1.0.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    + According to upstream, no longer overlaps kde and xfce panels in
      fullscreen mode, Closes: #562601, LP: #453173

  [ Christophe Mutricy ]
  * libavutil50 seems to be troublesome. Add it to bugs/control
  * Add a vlc-plugin-svg package (Closes: #560009)
  * Switch to xulrunner-dev (Closes: #555915)
  * Activate the global hotkey module (Closes: #548916)
  * Mention other maintainers and that the binaries are GPL v3 as we
    link with LGPL v3 libraries (LP: #489093)
  * Build-depend on a recent enough live555 to avoid comma vs. decimal
    point problem (Closes: #539946)

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * Recommend vlc-plugin-pulse for vlc, so that pulse can be used as
    default output.

  [ Whoopie ]
  * Enable CDDB in the CDDA module (LP: #439131)
  * Enable DV support (LP: #392115)

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * Fix typos, that are reported by lintian.
  * Sort confflags in debian/rules
  * Split normal configure flags from feature configure flags

I think such a broken fullscreen mode is a major annoyance for a movie player so it should be fixed by a SRU in karmic.
It affects xfce and kde 4.3.4 which has been uploaded to karmic-backports.

I'm attaching a debdiff that contains a patch, consisting of the two relevant upstream commits, to fix this bug.

I have the same problem with Kubuntu 9.10. This problem showed up since the last package update I ran - before that I had no trouble at all.

This bug has been fixed eons ago. The affected code is not even in VLC anymore.

If you experience similar symptoms in Ubuntu 12.04, it must be a different bug.
