Okay, I'll hold off.  Can't wait to see the configurable keybinding
code!

Another issue that occurred to me is how to make a Myth
application/module ignore LIRC events when it's not the foreground app. 
I.e., how will mythfrontend know to ignore remote codes when mythmusic,
mythgallery, or something like MPlayer or Xine is running?  Maybe you've
addressed this already; I'll wait & see.
