Description:
VLC crashes upon start

Additional info:
* vlc 2.0.5-5

Steps to reproduce:
Just run vlc with qt interface

There are no debugging symbols with arch packages, but from gdb I gained:

bug still present in 2.0.6-1. nvlc and cvlc still works.

For me works well

I think I figured out what the issue is:
glib2 2.36.1-3

I downgraded to glib2 ver 2.34.3-1 and vlc starts again (had to do a clean reinstall the vlc package though). Hope it helps!
