Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

When VLC is skinned using Ubuntu 10.10 I cannot use full screen with two monitors (VGA + Laptop Monitor). When I full screen only half the screen shows (as if it's oriented to be stretched across both monitors) and the second monitor doesn't even show an image (so I really only see half the video on one screen with a lot of black space to the left of the video).

Expected behavior is that skinned VLC acts exactly like when it is in the classic look (unskinned). In this mode on full screen the video takes up the entire screen of whatever monitor the video was on when it was not full screened (ie. it does not try to stretch over multiple monitors and the full image is visible).

Thanks for the hard work
