No that probably wasn't it. What happens is that when VLC was maximized before going to full-screen, the XFCE panel still shows up in fullscreen. If VLC was not maximized before going fullscreen, the XFCE panel does not show. You probably had VLC maximized, and when you deleted your config, it removed that setting, so the next time you started VLC it was not maximized and the fullscreen bug did not show up.

This happens in VLC and Picasa (and probably a few other programs out there)
