No problem, I know how hard it is to keep track of what patch is in  
what release.

Meanwhile the plot has thickened. PiP *does* work fine if I enable it  
via the on-screen menu (brought up with "M"), but pressing "V" still  
doesn't work and locks up the frontend so that it still works but  
needs an external kill to get out of it.

I can certainly live with this, and as soon as I update my LIRC  
configs it will (hopefully) become academic. I'd say that I've proven  
it does not have anything to do with OpenGL, so thus endeth this  
thread :-)

Much thanks to all and sorry to have involved the list in my Red  
Herring search.

Still wonder what's going on, but you can't know everything.
