Or use LIRC and have a single configuration that doesn't require your 
changing default keymappings in any of your applications (and can easily 
be moved from host to host or install to install or ...).  :)  Yes, I 
realize that setting up LIRC is a bit of a challenge compared to using a 
remote control as if it were a keyboard, but then again, if people here 
didn't recognize the value of putting in some work to reap great 
benefits, they wouldn't be here/wouldn't be running MythTV in the first 
place.
