I've been doing some testing of this on hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb,
nvidia quadro nvs 290) on a very recent QA-test install (20.04) fully
upgraded.

To reset 'vlc' (to get PrivNetAccPolicy to show) I'm using `rm
~/.config/vl* -rf`

I was unable to re-create it (and this box shares the screens of hp 8200
so I'd expect to set it up pretty much same orientation (maybe opposite
of top/bottom but I've been trying variations of screen positions too).

Scanning http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1804341 it
looks like I've only reported this issue as occurring on hp 8200 & d960
(my primary box that I key results into & thus rarely use for testing
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/398/builds/189072/testcases/1303/results)

Thus reported boxes (unless I missed one) are :-
dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 
5000/6000/7350/8350)
hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)


When the PrivNetAccPolicy window appears, the panel TaskManager button only 
moves the "VLC media player" window and doesn't touch the errant 
PrivNetAccPolicy dialog (ie. it doesn't move when you right-click & select 
move), but that dialog only occurs once, so any users who just close it won't 
notice it again anyway. 

Users can click into "Simple Preferences" and on the "Interface
Settings" the "Allow metadata network access" checkbox can be changed
(what the dialog box asks).

If they did SKIP or CLOSE the PriNetAccPolicy window because it was hard
to read, or ignored it seems to default to "Allow metadata access
network access" is DISABLED which is I suspect what most users would
want. If they want it enabled, they can go into Interface Settings and
change it.

Unless another user does confirm this (ie. they see it as a bug worth
fixing), I'm happy (& suggesting) ignore it.  It's not worth the effort
in my opinion.

(I've got the latest daily now so may re-test on my d960)
