Comment:

 After further research by beirdo, cpinkham, and myself, we've figure out
 that this was actually caused by the move of myth_system() from libmythui
 to libmythdb in [24623].  Technically, that change created a circular
 dependency between libmythui and libmythdb, but because USE_LIRC and
 USE_JOYSTICK_MENU weren't defined in libmythdb.pro, the code to lock LIRC
 and joystick events was never compiled (meaning libmythdb never actually
 used libmythui code, and myth_system didn't disable LIRC or joystick
 events).

 [26141] made the circular dependency visible, so this needs to be changed
 to use the same approach Chris used to disable UI updates from
 myth_system()--by sending an event.  This will allow removing all the
 #if/#ifdef lines for LIRC and joystick events from myth_system() and may
 also allow removal/simplification of some of the LIRC and joystick-related
 locking code in libmythui.

 And, in the interim compilation with --enable-symbol-visibility is broken,
 so until this is fixed, users should compile without --enable-symbol-
 visibility.
