You have to run these commands and restart your N900:
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/hildon/vlc.png

Ok, gonna try that.
Big Thx dude !
It's working like a charm, 1080p movie (converted to 800x360px) is working smooth.
And finally without the annoying black bars !

I am a bit of a newbie in computer terms but have managed to get vlc onto my n900 and can access it from x terminal by typing vlc.
As far as getting the icon to appear on the desktop so that I can start it up from there I read your advice on how to do that but not sure how to carry it out.
When I type sudo gainroot into x terminal the command line appears a /home/user # .I hope this is what I should have up before entering your above commands to remove unwanted files. When it comes to actually typing in the the lines of commands do I press enter after each line or not? If I do the message afterwards is that " it is not found". Could you lead me through it in laymans terms please.
Also picture is great on the n900 using vlc but no sound at all . The files I have been trying are all mp3 soundtrack, any advice there.
Thanks in advance James

@ woodman-46
With sudo gainroot (root access) you just type what is on post # 32 by MiK456 and push enter after each line.
That's for the icon on your screen. And if you getting "it is not found" X Terminal is case sensitive. If it still not working try this:
And reboot after. You can type reboot and it will do it Instead of using power button.

Many thanks for your useful reply. I just wasn't looking hard enough, I did not notice the gap between rm and the / .That makes all the difference. Any ideas about no audio when I am playing xvid with mp3 soundtrack. The audio setting shows that it is set to channel 1 (the only other is disable) James
