Sure ideally, it should be independent. To achieve that you need to make VLC 
QML UI require reference counting support. And maybe that's realistic in the 
long run, if/when Wayland actually gets deployed to any meaningful extent. Or 
maybe not. Or then to treat it as a separate window type from the existing 
Wayland one.

Adding an object variable is not removing the dependency in any way. It's just 
concealing it and making the overall code more brittle.
