I haven't seen this problem for a while.
Marc: irexec is not involved, but 563139 could be a dup.

mythfrontend sometimes does not respond to lirc events

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

Sometimes when I start `mythfrontend`, it does not respond to events from LIRC.  Keyboard input works just fine.  I can see LIRC working from the output of `irw` and my "application starter" script, which is run by `irexec`.  If I kill the front-end and start it again, the remote usually works.

I have a iMON-PAD (15c2:0036), which now works out of the box with 9.10 :-)

Note:  mythfrontend.real has multiple <defunct> children, and MythTV sometimes crashes or exits TV mode, especially when programs start and end.
