opening VLC will incorrectly show the close/minimize/max buttons

First the image: http://imgur.com/w5oLIVT

When I open VLC at it shows as the image which is, the main menu on the top (Where the Green Circle is) and then a second, internal menu (Where the Yellow circle is), if I try to click on the second menu (The one with the Yellow circle) it actually clicks on the Nautilus Window on the background, confusing me.

To get this behavior you need to:

1. Open Nautilus and leave it open full screen (This can also happen without having Nautilus, simply by trying to open a video in VLC)

2. Look for any video and open it with VLC.

3. If the effect I am mentioning does not occur, do it again, for what I have seen it happens about 2 or 3 out of 10. Around 20% to 30% of the time.

4. When it does happen, you will be left with 2 menus, the most inner one will be fake. The only one that can close, minimize or maximize the VLC video is the most external one.

I have also left the mouse hovering on the button and as you can see, the tooltip that is shown is actually the button from Nautilus on the background.

There was no compiz editing or anything other than installing VLC. This is using 13.04 right now.

This bug also affects me. Exactly the same behavior, except that it happens 100% of the time. I am using Ubuntu 13.04.

Thank you for your bug report. That ticket is quite old and we didn't get recent report of the problem, also it seems to work correctly now, closing. Feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce in more recent versions
