Bug#461522: vlc report error "BadAlloc" on startup

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5etch1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Since the security upgrade of xserver-xorg-core (2:1.1.1-21etch1 to 
2:1.1.1-21etch2), vlc is unusable. See below the error.

Please note that this error appears on 2 different PC (a portable and a 
desktop)

Regards,
Philippe Lamare

The program '.' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 494 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5)
  (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.)
