# when running the following and clicking on the VLC window
xprop | grep -i class
# I get WM_CLASS(STRING) = "", ""
# but I expect sth like "vlc, Vlc"

I use vlc ver. 0.9.6-1

Please report this upstream, as it won't get fixed when reported here.

Just reported on vlc's site. I think this report might be closed now.
