Asunto: F10 VS vlc
Hi!
I just noticed last night that vlc no longer displays its GUI. It still plays audio (haven't tried video yet), but I get no control panel from it anymore. I have to kill it (kill -9) to stop it, and there are no controls.
As recently as this past weekend it was working fine.
Did perhaps an update install a broken one? Any other ideas?
Just to confirm, the new libX11 from updates-testing repo does solve this problem, as well as the Pysol and RazorSQL problems I had mentioned.

Fred, Please do me a favor. Install keepassx and see if it starts. I have vlc and
have the same problem. I'm wondering if my keepassx problem is the same problem that vlc is having ie. no GUI displays.
I found the sourceforge site where I need to file a bug report but I'm
thinking this really isn't a keepassx (or vlc) bug at all but something else so I hesitate.
Thanks Dennis K
Seeing the other postings about various apps with the same problem, I haven't done the experiment you asked about. Not sure it's worth the effort now. What do yo think?
BTW, I noticed that PysolFC (a python app) doesn't work either. neither does RazorSQL, a commercial Java app for poking at SQL databases.
Fred
No, I don't really suppose it's worth the effort. I'm quite sure the next libX11 or gtk2 update will fix everything. I noticed my VirtualBox isn't available either. What a nasty little bug. It managed to kill 3 entire operating systems via VirtualBox. ;-)
