So the application menu below the window title bar, right? And what about the right-click context menu?

Why do you ask? Of course we are not on windows, but what does this have to do with my suggestion? The point was to rule out some weird user setting causing this. KDE's window manager (kwin) in particular can be configured very flexible how it treats different windows. And those menu popups are in fact separate windows... But if this is a fresh user account (a fresh install could reuse an old /home though), and you are not using KDE (I don't think others would offer such sophisticated settings that could cause such a problem), that's probably pointless to try. > > And what vlc version is this actually about?

Or IceWM at least, which should be installed by default. It may be a WindowMaker specific problem. Though as you see it in XFCE as well, that's likely not the case. > Any other ideas ? Well, it might also be related to hardware acceleration/using an overlay for playing the video (IOW, a graphics driver issue). Did you try a different video output device and/or disable "Accelerated video output (Overlay)" in vlc's settings, as I suggested? FTR, what graphics card/driver are you actually using?
