Um - is that ~/.mythtv/lircrc instead of ~/.myth/lircrc? 

As I said, I'm using 0.20.2, not SVN.  But I did check the code, it is:

    QString config_file = MythContext::GetConfDir() + "/lircrc";

Which should be ~/.mythtv/lircrc, and it does exist:

:ls -al ~/.mythtv/lircrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv 3.3K 2007-09-22 12:57 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

:mythfrontend --version
Library API version     : 0.20.20070821-1
Source code version     : exported
SVN Branch              : tags/release-0-20-2
Options compiled in:
 linux release using_v4l using_oss using_alsa using_arts using_ivtv

using_backend using_bindings_perl

All looks good to me...
