Bug Description

A l. click does nothing, to hide or unhide one must do from the drop down
Even then it always says " Hide VLC media player in the taskbar" whether hidden or not

In 12.04 the next, previous & stop are now non-functional

The systray icon does still work correctly in both area's & is the better choice atm.

Atm the systray icon for vlc, while working better than sni-qt, can invoke this crash
If at some point sni-qt could work more as expected that would be great - no big deal though

It seems like sni-qt does not pick up on QSystemTrayIcon::setContextMenu, nor any changes done to the context menu (setText/setEnabled etc).

Toggling visibility causes the menu changes to be picked up..
