Description: when playing any video in VLC in fullscreen, the bar which upcomes from the bottom is black. Looks like the skin is not loaded... And it is not black in normal mode, it's OK there. To fix it you need to create new user and run VLC from that new user which is not a good way to fix it. Not every Arch system has this bug though.

Additional info: the forum thread which contains duscussion about it - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=104574

Steps to reproduce:
Just play any video file in fullscreen mode in VLC and move mouse cursor down so the bar comes up. And it's black. See the attached screenphoto. Sorry for bad quality, have nothing better at the moment.

I can reproduce this issue on 3 different computers (two i686 and one x86_64) with different hardware and graphics drivers. Psi+ which is a Qt Jabber client is affected as well as VLC for me. I've attached a screenshot of Psi+ with the issue. Purging of ~/.kde4 or Qt config files don't help.

Edit: I've attached a VLC screenshot too.

That reminds me: showfoto has the same problem with tooltips of pics' metadata on my Arch system.
I have GeForce 8400GS, "nvidia" driver package installed.

Recently I discovered that this bug appears only with Oxygen theme.
