Yes, I'm aware of that. I've been looking at mouse support in Myth for some
time but then I realized it is not exactly what I need. The thing is I don't
need Myth running on a touchscreen device, but rather a separate "remote"
interface, controlling existing Myth frontends (and maybe backends) around the
house.
To better understand what I want, I'd recommend looking at MCEGuru:

That is understandable - like most FOSS projects everyone scratches their
itches. This is my itch, that's why I'm willing to spend time and try to patch
in necessary functionality...
