to check:

*  xine looks in ~/.lircrc not ~/.mythtv/lircrc
Easiest to 
   ln -s ~/.mythtv/lircrc ~/.lircrc

*  look at the xine keymap file ~/.xine/ for a fill list of values to 
use in the config
e.g.
Pause {
        key = space
        modifier = none
}

Use Pause as the config value in lircrc not space

* check if xine was compiled for use with lirc

I'll check it when I get home, but when I run xine, all of the remote's
buttons work (Play, Pause, Stop), it's just when I stop the video, it won't
go back to the Myth menu.  

Can I assume that since I installed Myth via Mythdora, that xine would've
already been compiled with lirc support?  Especially since I can use lirc to
control the video within xine.

Thanks,
Harry
