Reports about this pop-up occasionally so I'll try to clarify:
You need a compositing window manager to see both the hud osd and video at the same time.
I recommend xcompmgr because it can run in parallel to your normal window manager and serve the necessary compositing extensions as an addition. Of the compositing managers I've tried it also seems to be the fastest / least cpu intensive.
So install xcompmgr and run: xcompmgr -n&
prior to starting vdr-sxfe --hud
You'll need to setup xorg.conf so that compositing is enabled. IOW you should have lines similar to following in you xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection
Concerning your other display issues (opengl osd etc.) I'd recommend trying without patched vdr and maybe latest version of xine-lib.
In addition to that I believe one needs to use Textured video instead of Overlay to get transparency working.
