Hi Sebastian, vlc packagers! I'm afraid there is one misleading point here: 
the name of the package. It's not a lib at all, it just happens to be a plugin 
which links against a lib. The lib is totally private to the plugin. I'm 
planning to fix this in Qt 5.6.

So basically if you want to use Qt5 and *depend* on X11 you should really 
consider depending on this plugin.

Now I won't play ping-pong with the BTS. I'll let you decide what to do: 
either reassign this bug back to VLC or I'll close it on a few days.

Kinds regards, and the best for 2016, Lisandro.

count each of these strengths as a terrible flaw. Perhaps wiki works
