Vlc upgrade split windows?

Question

The latest vlc upgrade separates the video window from the controller which I can't stand.
I have gone thru all the gui preferences and cannot get the video embedded inside the controller using the classic look which I prefer.
Anyone have a solution ?

this patch applies to 0.9.4 and fixes the embedded video...
can someone contact the maintainer of vlc ?
Thanks for the link.  The patch does fix the issue for me.  You can just build it yourself with this PKGBUILD for now (I saved the patch as qt4-embed.diff):
