Comment (by brett@…):

 I'm using a USB keyboard / mouse.

 Maybe we could get an "Stop playback" option added to the "Playback" menu
 item to try to work out if the ESC is not getting to the quit code, or the
 quit code is broken.

 I've also implemented a workaround using xbindkeys. You need to ensure
 xbindkeys is running, then place the following into the X users
 ~/.xbindkeysrc


 {{{
 #Binds F3 to call the script
 "~/bin/stop-progs"
     m:0x0 + c:70
     F3
 }}}

 Then I have the executable file ~/bin/stop-progs, also note the temporary
 file referenced below is removed by the .xinitrc that starts mythfrontend
 in the first place


 {{{
 #!/bin/bash
 #try a soft kill first, but if it does not respond, terminate, with
 prejudice
 if [[ -e '/tmp/tmp-kill-mythfrontend' ]]; then
         rm /tmp/tmp-kill-mythfrontend
         killall -9  mythfrontend
 else
         #this file is removed by .xinitrc
         touch /tmp/tmp-kill-mythfrontend
         killall mythfrontend
 fi
 }}}
