Bug#802922: vlc: only top half of video shown when playing DVD's under kwin/xfce

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-4+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

After an unknown upgrade (attempts to downgrade resulted in kwin being 
unable to be started), vlc only shows the top half of a video window when run
under KDE or xfce.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I tried removing the vdpau libraries with that changing things.

running cvlc when kdm stopped showed the entire video window.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
