Also, this is not a bug but a feature. Citing wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player:

"The interface contains an easter egg which changes the VLC traffic cone logo so that it's wearing a Santa hat. The logo changes on December 18, one week before Christmas, and reverts to its normal appearance on January 1."

I had informed the bug in vlc in Bug#694693, using apport. Please refer details. My 'Administration' section does not respond to VLC though it is in Applications>Sound & Video. The change was in 'Guest' section.
