This is interestesting. Attempting to get what I want out of the
MusicInfo plugin has made me realise that currently the whole
screensaver/display stuff on SlimServer is confused and quite
overcomplicated (there are interelated display settings on at least
three separate pages for instance).

I doubt this will change with the planned architectural changes. It's a general problem with any program of a certain complexity: you just don't find what you're looking for.

I think a simple interface would present choices for each display
segment (by font size),

Isn't this the case today? And then the idea of segments is less and less present. Today you can have large text and small text mixed on the same display. It's no longer as with the first text displays.

some are not selectable at all (for instance, comment field for "Now
Playing").

Hmm... where do you see them, where don't you see them?

I do not want a screen saver at all.

Then turn it off :-)

I want the only changes made on
the screen to be as a result of me using the buttons on the remote.

And probably the player continuing playback on the next song as well?

Hit right hand remote button (and/or Now Playing button) receive
"tracknumber - album" on left screen, comments field on right screen.

AFAIK you can't customize what comes after a RIGHT button from Now Playing.
