[mythtv-users] Mythvideo exits back to desktop

[bstone]

not sure what you are talking about here
for gnome, just set the preference to focus to window under mouse for <.5sec
or lower (if its too fast it won't even switch to mythvideo when it starts
up)
its under the switch under mouse move option as I recall
no issues with irxevent and switching here
