Below my FF and RW buttons I have FRONT and END buttons that I'd never used.  I mapped them in lirc to pgup/pgdown.

I told my gf about the two changes (new pgup/pgdown, and 'info' button), then I showed her 0.22.  She liked it.  Myth still has a very high WAF.  ( I showed her a $90 wireless keyboard w/trackpad I wanted to buy so I didnt have to keep dragging my usb keyboard upstairs whenever I needed to type something.  She offered to pay half.  I love this freakin' project!)

I can start the ball rolling with a wiki page.  From the main page, is it ok if I create a new main category "Upgrading to 0.22" or something like that?  Not sure of the best place to put it on the wiki.
