LIRC problems in XBMC

I am using XBMC on my HTPC and recently switched from Ubuntu to Arch. Everything worked fine except remote in XBMC --standalone
(I don't use any WM or DE, just xorg, nvidia and whatever else is necessarily to run basic Arch and XBMC --standalone)

Without XBMC running, remote seems to be configured correctly. I added lircd to Daemons array and mceusb to Modules array.
When I start irw in tty1 terminal, every key is recognized.

However, when I start XBMC, only few keys actually work there.. like Up, Down, Left, Right, Mute and few others.
I can't click OK or select anything with the remote, "Windows" button doesn't work either to go back to the main menu, Power off button doesn't work.. and all number keys.

Anyone what have XBMC here and configured their remotes and such.. Can you help me with this? What should I do? Do I really need map all keys manually? I didn't have to do it before, it just all worked from install of lirc.

PS. I am using MCE remote control GP-IR01BK.
