I have not tried to use VLC with java and am not sure if this is related but
the the directx module is broken in that it does not forward unhandled
window messages to the externally specified window.
I have written the attached patch to fix this.

The patch works fine with a C wrapper for libVLC I have written:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/kceasy/kceasy/controls/VLC/

Since not forwarding unhandled messages to the previous window proc is
clearly incorrect behaviour it would be nice if the attached patch
could be applied to the official VLC tree.
