Cool - looks fabbo! Would you mind sharing the jar file? I have a
.lircrc that works that I can send you tonight (Australia time).

Also - do you call this from an exec command from the MythTV menu?
I've been having a few issues where it seems to lose keyboard focus
and sometimes doesn't respond to lirc either (though my remote may be
carking it). I'm using evilwm. I used to be a ratpoison man but it
Softsqueeze doesn't work in a very friendly way with it. I'd be
interested in your setup for running this nicely.
