I am loosing focus in mythwelcome when I hit M to get mythwelcome
menu,  when I am not using window manager. I tried using fvwm, but I
had a white pixels on the right and bottom side of the screen, when I
used Internal player. I was not able to solve this, and I am using
mythfrontend without WM again since than. I am loosing focus only in
mythwelcome and really rarely in other menus. I can live with it, but
I would like not to have to.
