Bug Description

I had this bug earlier, that I thought was fixed with overlay-scrollbar blacklists, but it happens again today.

Steps to reproduce :
- disable swap (otherwise you’ll get an endlessly swapping multi-gigabyte Xorg)
- start vlc
- click the show playlist button

Running an up to date oneiric with fglrx.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
