I'm not sure this is entirely a harmony issue.

I've just upgraded to 2.6.39 vanilla, and lircd 0.9.0 using the in
kernel drivers for my MCE usb remote and I'm getting exactly the same
issue. The arrow keys in myth and XBMC double press.

I've tried adding the 'suppress_repeat' to lircd.conf in /etc, but
either this doesn't work, doesn't work as expeted or I've put it in
the wrong place.

I was going to have more of a fiddle with this tonight, but it's good
to know I'm not the only one having issues.

Hopefully the upgrade to DVB-S2 doesn't rely on the new kernel version
and I can revert to the working 2.6.31.13 if i can't sort it.

All was working okay with llirc 0.8.7 and the lirc supplied mceusb driver.

Cheers,
