For Red Hat users, at least those using ATrpms and freshrpms binaries, 
hacking mamehandler.cpp won't quite work. :)

The good news is that switching to /usr/bin/xmame.SDL works perfectly 
in fullscreen mode without any extra work beyond changing your path 
(and possibly quitting and restarting mythfrontend). This assumes 
you've installed xmame w/ 'apt-get install xmame', which installs xmame 
and xmame.SDL from freshrpms.
