X doesn't provide a nice way to do fullscreen, this is why two fullscreen methods are available. The alternate fullscreen should be the one you are looking for since with this one _nothing_ should be able to appear on top of the video (unfortunatly, not even vlc's interface).

Ok, it's certainly not expected to behave this way ;-)
This needs to be fixed, I will look at this ASAP.
