Well, for your information, I tried to find something like this for 
several hours before I gave up. So thank you for the hint, I'll have to 
try that today.

And you know, I have no idea what you mean by "me-too posts on #3109". I 
can only assume that you think that I have spammed some place called 
#3109 (list, forum, irc channel, no idea what you are talking about..) 
with this question. Well, I can assure you that I have sent two (2) 
posts about this matter to this mailing list and nowhere else.

Personally, I'm really not interested whos fault it is that I have those 
damn panels. I'm just an end user who wants to look mythtv on fullscreen 
and I thought that one could ask help with this kind of things in this 
particular mailing list. Apparently I thought wrong.
