I am experiencing double menubars with

Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880 (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.8.0).
OS Driver: RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250].

So, double menubars in VLC is not nVidia-specific. Nor am I having any similar issues in any other applications running on Unity.

Using the custom skin option removes the symptom at the expense of convenient access, and the interface doesn't fit the screen but gets shoved partway offscreen by the Unity launchbar, and it's not resizeable. Because this issue is primarily cosmetic, I think many VLC users are simply not bothering to report it. But it is annoying.

This is unbelievable! After I began posting this, I re-opened VLC to check something, and the double menubar has disappeared -- just now! I had just viewed a video a half-hour ago and the symptom was present. Now it's gone!

Will report if it returns again...
