VLC commandline problems in Wheezy

[Intense Red <intnsred@golgotha.net>]

   I have a Wheezy (with the deb-multimedia.org repository) computer running a 
KDE desktop as a HTPC. I use VLC to watch videos.

   If I run KDE's default VLC invocation, "/usr/bin/vlc VideoFileName.ext", 
VLC will run fine, popping up in a window on the desktop.

   However, if I run my own call of VLC, "/usr/bin/vlc VideoFileName.ext --
fullscreen --play-and-exit --no-repeat", then VLC will not load.

   The setup using commandline parameters has worked fine in the past (this 
machine has been running Wheezy since its testing days), so I'm thinking this 
is a change/bug caused by some recent update.

   Has anyone else experienced oddities with VLC using commandline parameters?
