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.
