Same problem here, VLC Remote 0.5.3, Android 2.3, Arnova 10 G2.

This is related to a bug in android (since 2.1, got fixed since 3.0);
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6191
You can workaround it by creating your own ViewFlipper class eg.;
(might not be the best place/package, just created this class in the package 
closest to my mouse cursor)
//--1)------------------
package org.peterbaldwin.vlcremote.fragment;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.ViewFlipper;

public class FixedViewFlipper extends ViewFlipper {
    public FixedViewFlipper(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public FixedViewFlipper(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        try {
            super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            stopFlipping();
        }
    }
}
//----------------------
In /android-vlc-remote/res/layout-xlarge/main.xml
//--2)------------------
replace (line 62 & 79)
  <ViewFlipper
    ...
  </ViewFlipper>
by
  <org.peterbaldwin.vlcremote.fragment.FixedViewFlipper
  ...
  </org.peterbaldwin.vlcremote.fragment.FixedViewFlipper>

btw. i'ld love to post a patch here but unfortunately I'm quite not familiar 
with Git.

There are a few problems with the tablet layout on the Arnova 10 G2 because 
it's not running Android 3.0, so I've disabled the tablet layout for 2.3 
devices for now.  This bug should no longer be an issue because only the tablet 
layout uses a ViewFlipper.  Sorry, I know this isn't ideal for G2 users :(
