I finally got my act together, rechecked and corrected the links 
suggested in the guide and life is good.
I also commented out Option      "Device" "/dev/lircm" in /etc/X11/XF86. 
I've seen a reference suggesting that it helps to resolve focus problems.

Hopefully my updated solution is useful to others.
