[mythtv-users] mythwelcome sometimes not responding

Hi,

For the last couple of weeks, in my 0.25 combined BE/FE, mythwelcome 
sometimes seems to go into a "not responding" state.

By that I mean that I cannot start mythfrontend from it, nor bring up 
the menu or any of the setup screens, or press F12 to bring up a shell. 
The screen does not update (that is, if the backend starts recording, 
mythwelcome does not show this). If I bring up another window on top of 
mythwelcome then take it away, the mythwelcome window doesn't refresh.

It isn't a complete hang, though, as mythwelcome still writes to its log 
while it's in this state. An extract from the log starting shortly after 
mythwelcome is started is as follows:

It then repeats the "Locking input devices" message once a second or so 
until I kill the mythwelcome process. If I then restart mythwelcome, it 
is usually fine.

As I say, it only happens sometimes, maybe a couple of times a week. I 
am up-to-date with 0.25-fixes from the mythbuntu repos, and this problem 
has occurred with several different versions over the last couple of 
weeks. Any ideas?

Cheers,

John
