Bug#462469: vlc: Changing to full screen in KDE gives a tan!

[Sheridan Hutchinson]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.c-4.1~lenny2
Severity: normal

It's true :)

Running KDE 3.5.8 here and I'm new to VLC.  VLC has however replaced 
both mplayer and audacious and I've got rid of the horrible w32codecs 
package at last so I'm really pleased.

The only trouble I have is every time I make a video go full screen.

When do this, the whole screen gets just a little darker apart from a 
slither of pixels on the far left of the screen.

If I keep flipping between full screen and windowed then the darkness 
address up until I can't see the KDE desktop.

If at this stage however, I press control_alt_del for the logout prompt, 
or if I activate the Kmenu, then it goes white again, just in that 
redrawn area.

Given the nature of the problem I decided the best thing to do was to 
take a video of it with my phone.

I noticed that VLC plays this ok, however it doesn't have any sound.  
Maybe that could be a seperate bug report at another time :)

Any help with this KDE 'tanning' bug would be appreciated.
