This was a key feature for me (no pun intended), since I never exit mythfrontend during normal usage and sometimes like to keep hitting exit to get to the root menu.  Also, I have my remote custom configured to send a bunch of exits with the off button so you can can just push off even if you're watching something.  In other words, this was a really nice preference and now it seems to be gone.  Anyway, I have searched the archives and haven't come up with much other than the release notes for 0.24 which say "System Exit Key - Replace with keybindings [24722]".  The link to that ticket is dead.  What does this mean, "replace with keybindings"?  I have looked through the keybindings and I don't see anything related to system exit key.
>> If anyone can help me restore the exit key to something like ctrl-esc, alt-esc, or really anything other than esc, that would be terrific and I can move to 0.24.  If not, I'm stuck on 0.23.  Thanks in advance!

Nice one! Thanks for the info, I've been in the same position since the 0.24 upgrade, but I've never looked into it. Now I don't have to keep cancelling the Are You Sure You Want To Exit dialog when I press back too many times. 

Robert.
