[mythtv-users] Window focus problem with KDE & clock offset glitch?

[grozio at buffalo.edu]

I dont know what I have done recently but this problem did not spring 
up until about a month ago, well into a month of me using mythtv.

The problem I was having was after live tv was exited using the remote 
(linked to the "esc" button) mythtv front end would lose focus.  The 
only way I could regain it was by plugging back in my mouse and 
clicking on the window.  This wasn't too big of a problem as I usually 
just view recorded shows. 

A few weeks ago I had to reset mythtv and out of some stroke of poking 
around luck, some combination of I dont know what got this working 
again.  It worked fine, until tonight.

Another problem I've been having is that my clock will jump ahead what 
seems to be 10-20 seconds each day, so within the few weeks since I 
have played with it last the clock has now advanced 4 minutes (which 
is a problem when catching the end of shows as they are now getting 
cut off).  The only reason I ever plug in a keyboard or have to 
restart myth front end is when I go in and reconfigure the clock.  I 
usually do this by changing to the TV guide channel and setting the 
clock to that (which locks up mythfrontend, but I kinda expect that 
because of the systems time changing).  This is why I need to restart 
mythfrontend every few weeks.

However, tonight when I fixed the clock I am having the focus problem 
again.  KDE's window focus settings are on "Click to focus".  Now I 
lose focus when exiting a prerecorded show and when exiting livetv.  
Basically at this point the remote is useless. I have reloaded 
mythfrontend and irxevent several times and just messed around with 
focus settings but I have not accomplished anything.  I don't know 
what I can do to fix these problems.

If anyone has any ideas to fix the focus problem or clock problem 
please let me know. I am pretty new to linux so if you could simplify 
an explaination that would be great.  Thanks for the help!
