Thanks for the comment. Yes, that feature should be avoided for now. It looks like it's being tracked as Bug #349519, and a fix seems to have been developed.

@Weevil:

Thanks very much for the tip. I’ve never tried running VLC from the command line.

… just one more thing – shift+arrows will help you scroll through your movies without vlc controlpanel

UNR is great on my Aspire One! I use vlc as my default player and noticed quite some improvement when I open it without GUI and fullscreen. So in terminal (or in my case at preferred applications) type ‘cvlc -f –mouse-hide-timeout 0′

Also check out vlc –help for more options. Hope this helps you out
