[mythtv-users] Has anyone figured out how to foreground mplayer?

I am running mythtv 0.16, mythdvd, and mythvideo.  No window manager, just 
launch mythfrontend on bootup via my .xinitrc.  I am not using lirc, I went 
the wireless keyboard with universal learning remote route.

I can run mplayer directly from .xinitrc instead of mythfrontend and the 
remote works fine.  Launching a video from mythdvd or mythvideo launches 
mplayer fullscreen, but my remote will not work.  Alt tab won't work since 
there is no window manager.  My launch command is:

mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo x11 -ao alsa %s

I have tried variations of the -fstype argument (above, fullscreen, 
stays_on_top, etc...).

Is there some sort of app-default property I can set in X or something?

This is completely killing the WAF.  Please help, I'm desperate!

instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then,
later, when you're out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake
cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, "Boy, these are good
cigars!"
