this is how I normally run Myth and agree, it's not an issue, but with
Firefox, and the need for a mouse, I would have to agree a window
manager would help.

I am running 0.23 so I'll give MythBrowser a shot.

Touchscreen would be great, but $$, my parents already have an LCD
HDTV there with HDMI input.

thanks for the help all!
