1) Additional buttons in the remote control screen: PgUp / PgDn / Home / End. This would make browsing through long lists more comfortable.
2) A button in the remote control screen for cycling through the available subtitles (equivalent to pressing the L key on the keyboard)
3) A button in the remote control screen for cycling through the available audio tracks of a movie (I don't know if XBMC has this functionality)
4) In Constellation's remote control screen, the keyboard button calls iPad's retractable keyboard, which can be used to enter text in XBMC, like the search field. It would be nice if the iPad keyboard could be used to jump to specific words in a list (like when using the PC's keyboard and you type the letters "B", "A" and "M" holding the shift-key, the cursor jumps to the entry in the list that starts with "bam", for example: the movie "Bambi" in the movie list)
5) In Constallation's Artists screen all artists of XBMC database are shown by default. An option to exclude artists who appear only in compilation as in XBMC's settings would be nice.
The basic idea is to use the big iPad's screen as comfortable remote controle to navigate through XBMC.
Regads,

1) Added to the To Do list
2 & 3) Thats already there when you start a movie 2 buttons show on the remote download subs and switch subs.
4) added to todo this is a grate idea
5) Will give it a try but don't know if this can be done in the JSON RPC.

shuttering-->
hmm It does not happen to me. The banner that you see on screen is required by the event server spects But I know other remotes don't do it @ all we can make a switch to disable the baner.
banners-->
well you you should have all the postars banner's you can try to remove the image cache from settings.
