I don't know about Fed15 but my Ubuntu has a .vlc directory in my home
directory. Do you want to take another look, just in case?

Ur, I just had another look and found that it hadn't been touched since
27/9/2009. There is a README in there touched on that date that says
"The VLC media player configuration folder has moved to comply
with the XDG Base Directory Specification version 0.6. Your
configuration has been copied to the new location:
/home/cliffp/.config/vlc/vlcrc
You can delete this directory and all its contents."

Hope that helps! There is indeed a .config/vlc/vlcrc at that location.

Cheers,

Cliff
