Hi fatal,
The issue you mention could very well be the screensaver. I guess the screensaver creates some kind of picture playlist, which are strange beasts in XBMC.
I'll investigate, but i don't know if i can do much against it...
As for your requests:
4) XBMC currently offers no way to query smart playlists. So you won't get this in any remote for a while - until the XBMC devs sort out the whole playlist handling, which is on their roadmap for the next release (v12, not Eden)
I'll consider the rest
Now to the empty sources in the files tab:
This usually happens when you're using password protected network shares as sources. The problem here is, that the username / password aren't transfered to the remote (for security reasons), and when the remote tries to dive into the source it get rejected because of missing auth credentials (kinda scizophrenic...)
The good news is that theres a workaroud for this. You'll have to move the auth details from your sources.xml to another file.
If added a short howto to XBMC Commanders webpage:

...near the bottom.
Viewing pictures isn't perfect though.
The app will only download & show pictures < 3MB, because anything bigger quickly causes memory trouble.
