Comment 28 for bug 805303

It still happens with vlc using the current qt4-x11, as noted in comments 14 & 15
Will attach the qt config file for vlc - if needed I'll point out the specific area.

Though deleting the config does not fix the issue, Only changing the gui does. (& then deleting the config does fix vlc.

As note in orig. description that this affects vlc when doing certain things, not particularly just opening vlc -

"vlc will hang when trying to open anything additional - it also appears to crash unity-window-decorator among other things (have crash report on that)
Ex.'s - the playlist, tools > preferences and so forth"
The unity-window-decorator crash was relevant 10 weeks ago, no longer is.
