Thanks for those links Mike. I've checked them out and I'm pretty sure it's 
nothing to do with xine (I never run it, don't even think it's installed). 
However, I'll try moving the mouse about and see what happens when this 
happens next. I'm not hopeful though since, apart from escape, I had full 
control of all the other keyboard commands in MythWeather. I've seen this 
happen in MythMusic, MythWeather, MythGallery and MythVideo. It's always 
escaping out that is the only control not working :\
