</div>Couldn't you just put a hook into this webmyth_service.cpp application<br>
to fork/execv off an instance of the frontend if none is found to be<br>
running? You could set it up so it terminates mythwelcome, and<br>
maintains access to the frontend as a child process. Once the child<br>
dies, start mythwelcome back up, bypassing the whole LIRC issue.<br>
