 That was me as anonymous; forgot to add my username ;-)

 Attaching a really quick and nasty patch for mythnews which launches
 mythbrowser as a background process, thus allowing the main FE thread to
 continue processing events. There are almost certainly better ways to
 achieve this, but I don't know C++. This seems to achieve an acceptable
 result for me, so I thought I'd share.

 It's not ideal, the mini-player popup doesn't appear while viewing a page,
 but that's entirely secondary for my purposes. Also this only addresses
 the issue for mythnews, although I'm sure something similar could be done
 for 'normal' mythbrowser. Could this approach be useful? Is there any
 reason why mythbrowser shouldn't allow the main FE thread to continue?
