Out of curiosity, would you be running VLC with a GTK+ style? I have the same issue, except if I swap to another style (for example Clearlooks) then everything works perfectly.
Even more, using the GTK+ style, it crashes when I use specific GTK2 themes. I am using "Greybird" right now, and VLC crashes when opening "Media / Open file". Swapping GTK themes fixes the issue. I have pin-pointed the crash to a few lines in this GTK theme (the sidebad_active.png file must exist) style "test-crash-sidepane" { engine "pixmap" { image { function = FLAT_BOX file = "sidebar_active.png" } } } widget_class "*GtkFileChooserWidget.GtkFileChooserDefault.GtkVBox.GtkHPaned.GtkVBox.GtkScrolledWindow.GtkTreeView*" style "test-crash-sidepane"
