And then? What if I have a multiple viewports? What if I press alt+tab? What 
if there are multiple video elementary streams? Now I simply cannot focus the 
UI, as if the video was a modal dialog.

Anyway, this argument is self-contradictory. If "you are in fullscreen", then 
you really couldn't care less that VLC shows two windows in the task bar, 
since you can't see said task bar. So you broke the old behaviour precisely 
because you did sometime use the task bar. And that brings us back to the fact 
that the UI should be usable, just as any other non-VLC app while VLC is 
fullscreen.

That is a very small subset of what the main UI can do.
