  i'm not seeing any problems like this with the current 
version in testing which reports a version (via dpkg)
of 3.0.6-1 (but i'd not had a problem like you've reported
with the previous versions either).

  since i am following testing/unstable at times i do 
expect things to not quite always work but vlc has 
usually been at least ok - i also have to admit that i 
don't use it very often.

  perhaps it is a desktop/environment issue as i've 
been using MATE...

  that is all i can think of at the moment.
