Bug#807805: vlc: Crash upon startup

[Hörmetjan Yiltiz]

​I realized that vlc only crashes in my i3wm setup, but does not crash if
started from the KDE5 environment. ​

calling `vlc --no-qt-system-tray` will start vlc and is an effective
workaround.

Bug#807805: vlc: Crash upon startup

[Hörmetjan Yiltiz]

Thanks! Is it due to a lack of some interface in i3wm, in which case it is
i3wm's bug, or that `vlc` is assuming some interface that is not
necessarily present in any system?

Best,
Hörmet
