[mythtv] how to emulate arrow keys in lirc

Okay, found out what my problem with lirc not working with mythtv, my bad, I 
had a mode line that was spelled wrong mythv rather than mythtv.

So... now my remote works fine with mythtv and mythfrontend except for one 
thing, navigating with the remote on the mythfrontend menu doesn't work with 
the example menu keybindings as below. Actually these keybindings don't work 
from the keyboard either for that matter:

begin
    prog = irxevent
    button = MenuUp
    config = Key W CurrentWindow
end

begin
    prog = irxevent
    button = MenuRight
    config = Key D CurrentWindow
end

begin
    prog = irxevent
    button = MenuDown
    config = Key S CurrentWindow
end

begin
    prog = irxevent
    button = MenuLeft
    config = Key A CurrentWindow
end


Since only the arrow keys on the keyboard seem to work for navigating the 
menu, what do I replace the current keybindings with to enable this via 
remote (Packard Bell)?
