Hi I sort of solved my problem of getting rid of the KDE panel on the TV and switching keyboard focus on non-xinerama dual head screens although its a bit naff: If before I start mythfrontend I use a fantastic program from the website: http://wiki.gentoo-italia.net/index.php/Dual_Monitors to switch the mouse over, I can minimize the panel at the bottom of the screen. Then after starting mythfrontend, if I want to set the keyboard focus to the TV, I run: xterm -display localhost:0.1 exit out of the xterm, then I have keyboard focus on the TV. The website mentioned above did say the mouse focus program would also work to change the keyboard focus, but I found that the it didn't appear to on my setup. I hope this helps anyone else running non-xinerama dual head screens.
