So write another program that listens for events.

A window manager is required for full operation of myth. If you're not using one, you've got bugs. irxevent's tiny - there's no reason to believe that a similar app for whatever input device you wanted would be any larger. > So, where is the project going anyway..

A standalone media system doesn't need to reimplement every single app under the sun inside of it. And if it _were_ completely stanalone, you'd not need to run external applications from a keypress, hmm? > If the answer is the latter, Mythtv needs to have everything within the > gui to configure a machine from zero, and I might point out that I have > patched it to do as much at the moment.

Or within a separate UI that's part of the OS install. This patch isn't going in to Myth. Neither is a shell, or gcc, or the kernel. Stuff that's better implemented elsewhere, is, well, better implemented elsewhere.
