Bug#538417: vlc: Video is disabled if window made translucent (via transset/compositing)

Package: vlc
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: normal

I have my wm (awesome w/xcompmgr) set to make non-focused windows set to
80% opacity.  When vlc loses focus, and thus has its opacity changed,
the video goes blank.

The same can be tested by installing the transset package, issuing
"transset .8" and clicking on the vlc window.
