I've been using 0.24 trunk (currently r25198) for some time now and I 
have one really annoying issue.

When mythtv starts external application either from mythvideo (mplayer) 
either from button in mainmenu.xml (time) lirc key presses are somehow 
being stored while external application is running and when I exit that 
application (tvtime or mplayer) mythfrontend repeats all those key 
presses that I clicked while running external app.

So after exiting external application I never know what will happen, or 
where I will end up. I found that there was several similar issues but 
those are too old and were regarding LIRC keypress application (that 
field is empty and I am not using it).

This issue appeared when I upgraded to mythbuntu 10.04 and switched to 
trunk.

I have checked all settings regarding LIRC in mythtv setup.

I have checked and debugged LIRC in every possible way. irw reports just 
one press, so no double pressing, debug messages from kernel also report 
one keypress. And ofcourse LIRC is behaving normally in all other 
application except frontend.

Any ideas ?
