I'm having a problem using lirc to control mythtv only *after* viewing 
LiveTV.

I can use the remote in the myth menus fine prior to livetv.
When I go into livetv, the remote still works, and i can exit the livetv 
mode using the remote, but once it exits, lirc won't control the TV 
menu, or the main myth menu, but it will work on the exit confirmation 
window.

I took the lircrc.example and the twmrc.example files included with 
mythtv and used them as my .lircrc and .twmrc files.  I did change the 
.lircrc file and made the "button=" lines match those returned by my 
remote, but the keybindings remain, and are set on for "CurrentWindow" 
for each event.

I assume that twm isn't properly giving focus to mythfrontend, but I 
can't understand why it does it for the finaly mythfrontend exit 
confirmation screen.  I don't see it spawn a seperate window for it.

I'm trying to use a really light setup, so if someone has another window 
manager that they use that they know works, I don't mind switching.
I'm so close that my mouth is salivating..
