[mythtv-users] screensaver for mythfrontend

[Joseph H. Fry]

If it were in the mythtv code to start the screensaver then a popup
dialog box that responds to any keystroke could take the focus when the
screensaver is started... that way no matter what you press on the
remote to clear the screen saver you would be merely closing the dialog
box.
