Thanks for the step-by-step, I see what you mean. However I cannot reproduce it on my machine. Can I please ask you to perform the following (you had better close all applications, as you'll need to log out at the end):

1. Open a Terminal
2. Enter the following commands individually and press return:
     cat /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
     killall unity-2d-places
     unity-2d-places &
3. Now click the so-called "BFB" button at the top of the launcher, to open the Dash.
4. Find and click VLC.

All this time you'll have output appearing in your terminal screen. Could you please copy & paste it to this bug report?

It's probably best for you to log out after this procedure, to get back to a properly usable system.
Many thanks!
