Only to add it to the blacklist in.
/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transition.ini
But most CSSU/TMO members can/would do this them self.

It would be nice to work in portrait even if the IR is on the side.
I actually have been playing with holding the device "portrait, wrong way round" and the IR works okay were my TV is.

There some thing about remote's that makes you want to hold the device in portrait.

Is it possible to wrap the text in the buttons and have kinetic scrolling to change tabs as a solution?

IMO I would class it as a Ulitity.
Also I would add "IR" in your description, it was the first thing I typed to find it in the repo. When only Irreco appeared I then searched for "remote". Didn't think of typing "infrared"
