In  PlaybackBox::UpdateUILists(), it tries to preserve the cursor state
after asynchronous changes come in, such as a new recording, or another
frontend deleted an existing recording.  It does this via calls to
save_position() and restore_position().  It's nice that the cursor remains
fairly stable when these changes happen.

That said, if the focus is on the group list, and the episode list is
already at the top, and a new episode comes in, it would seem to make sense
to scroll the episode list to show the new item.
