Bug#660700: vlc-plugin-notify: application blocks at startup when activated

[Marc Dequènes (Duck)]

Package: vlc-plugin-notify
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important


Coin,

After upgrading from 1.1.13-1+b1, the (default) interface window  
opens, but stays empty without any widget but the background color,  
and the whole application stays blocked forever (see the attached  
debug logs). These two tests work perfectly using xine or mplayer.

Using 'cvlc --control qt4' i was able to have it open properly. I then  
found disabling libnotify support solved my problem. libnotify4 was  
not upgraded since a while, worked perfectly with 1.1.13-1+b1, and  
still works for other applications.

Tell me if you need more info.

Regards.
