He didn't want to kill/start frontend (or at least that's not what he
asked for).  He just wanted certain keys deactivated when the frontend
was running.

The easiest way to do that would be to use a wrapper script that swaps
the lircd config files when the frontend is started/stopped so that lirc
would ignore the unwanted keys when myth is active.  That assumes you
can find a way to make sure myth is not started directly, bypassing the
script.
