Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.e-2.2
Followup-For: Bug #443415
I haven't been able to run 'vlc' as a regular user for months, (it works
as 'root'). Most command line invocations of bugs tend to produce the
same error given the same input. Not 'vlc'... on my system the errors
vary between the next five:

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xed7)!
Xlib: sequence lost (0x10eac > 0xeff) in reply type 0x0!
The program '.' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
(Details: serial 3756 error_code 17 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I tried purging and reinstalling with 'apt-get' but it didn't help.
