[mythtv-users] LIRC and Mythfrontend focus

[Mario Limonciello]

Dom,

Well have you tried to look for a window manager to easily change focus?  I
know that ratpoison has features to switch focus between windows via
hotkeys.  You could map a hotkey to an irxevent command, and immediately
grab focus when needed.
