Package: vlc
Version: 1.1.3-1squeeze6
Severity: normal

When I ran vlc with some audio files as command-line arguments, vlc started 
playing that set of files and then displayed the Privacy and Network Policies 
window/dialog.  Because that dialog is modal, I couldn't  control (not even 
pause!) the playback until I finished with that dialog.  


I couldn't finish with that dialog right away because it wasn't clear what
the check box labeled "Allow fetching media information from Internet" 
really meant.  

The phrase "media information" is uselessly ambiguous:  "Media" files are 
information, so the label might refer to retrieving remote audio/video 
files.  On the other hand, "media information" might have been meant to
mean associated information (CDDB-style title/artist/etc. information?), 
so the label might refer to remote lookups of that information.

Note that the "Privacy and Network Warning" text doesn't help.  It says,
in part:

   VLC ... can get informations from the Internet in order to
   get media informations ...

which is next to useless.)




So:

1. VLC should not start playing anything before popping up that (and
   many any other or some other) modal dialog.  (Alternatively, making 
   that dialog non-modal would also solve the problem here.)

2. The wording of that check-box label (and the warning text) should be 
   clear.
