This is my first reply to this mailing list so I hope I don't screw it
up.  I used the script mentioned above so everything should be about the
same.

Here is what I did to stop the menu from poping up when using the xbox
remote.  The lirc configuration file for the remote for Xebian wide is
at /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf  What I did in their was comment everything out
with the "#" at the beginning of each line.  I did leave one line not
commented out which was the left arrow.  The reason I did that was so I
could make the screen-saver go away with the remote.  Now when not in
mythtv you will not be able to use the remote to control anything except
move the pointer to the left. 

Example:
#MOVE_N * UP
#MOVE_E * RIGHT
#MOVE_S * DOWN
MOVE_W * LEFT

Also the config files for lirc within mythtv is
at /home/live/.mythtv/lircrc   In this file I made the SKIP- and SKIP+
equal to the Q and Z key so I could use those keys to skip the
commercial cut points.  They weren't configured like that after I
install, they were the only 2 keys not assigned.  

Example:
# Seek to previous commercial cut point
begin
prog = mythtv
button = SKIP-
repeat = 4
config = Q
end

# Seek to next commercial cut point
begin
prog = mythtv
button = SKIP+
repeat = 4
config = Z
end


You should be able to see what to do once you open those files.  If not
shoot me an email.
