vlc crashed with SIGSEGV in WindowManager::raiseAll()

[bwallum]

Binary package hint: vlc

This happened after I had tried a different skin. When I opened vlc after several days and many Ubuntu updates I was presented with a window asking me to choose a skin.

I don't know where the default skin is for vlc.

I closed the 'choose a skin' window and vlc crashed. This could be a skin specific problem. I forget the name but the skin was shiny black with blue buttons and had a user rating of 5 (the top skin)
