 If you open a telnet connection to the remote control interface you should
 be able to execute a command like: "play program 1022 2007-09-30T20:00:00
 resume" which will cause the frontend to jump to the playback box and play
 specified program, and will cause the telnet to output "OK" followed by a
 return and the "#" prompt.

 What happens right now in the development branch is that executing the
 command will cause the playback box to appear, but the program does not
 get played and the "OK" or the "#" does not get printed out.

 I've tracked this down to the fake keypress being executed in
 playbackbox.cpp, I'm guessing that QT4 does not send the
 Qt::MouseButtonMask | Qt::KeyButtonMask fake button through unmodified as
 QT3.3 did.  Someone with more experience with QT4 should look at this, but
 in the meantime, I've submitted a patch which just relies on the
 Qt::Key_LaunchMedia key and the presence of network control commands to
 identify a fake key event. This should probably be cleaned up to not use
 fake events.
