Hi Daniel,
Ok, so it's the same problem. I'll try to look into it in more detail.
The clean fix means making changes to lots of files (inverting the
meaning of a flag, so changing any existing locations where that flag is
used). That means being extra careful not to break anything.
As a workaround, I currently put the frontend to sleep by pressing 'm'
in the main menu and selecting 'Enter standby mode'.
I guess most people don't use mythwelcome, so haven't been affected by
this bug. I only use(d) it as a way of explicitly telling the box that
it could shut down, which is what 'standby mode' does too.
Richard.
