Mythfrontend (0.22): No LIRC and freezes on exit. [SOLVED - partially]

Hello again, more problems with mythtv...

First of all, mythfrontend doesn't respond to lirc input. It does however work in mythwelcome (and irw), but the stdout from mythfrontend includes:

LIRC: Successfully initialized '/dev/lircd' using '/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc' config

The other problem is that mythfrontend always freezes when exiting. There is no printouts or anything, it just stops responding (when it should terminate). I believe this might be connected to some settings change, since I don't remember having this problem when first moving to 0.22. But I don't see what could be the cause (opengl painter? change of theme?). But it shouldn't happen, right?

If anyone happens to have any idea of the reason for the problems, solutions, or similar problem, please post. Thanks

Re: Mythfrontend (0.22): No LIRC and freezes on exit. [SOLVED - partially]

After a much experimenting (including resetting the database), I've found the cause for the problem: "media monitoring" in mythfrontend

I've never been able to get this to work, so I've disabled it... When enabled (and causing problems) it seems to complain about pmount not be able to lock directory and similar. Oh well, as long as recording/playing of recordings works, then I'm happy.

I hope this helps other people in the same situation.
