If you're looking for a minimal solution then use ratpoison.  It's a
window manager that runs everything full-screen without any frames,
widgets or mouse input.

I used to have a similar problem when using mplayer from mythvideo.  
When the frontend is running there are actually three generations of 
mythfrontend in the 'ps' tree.  The external players get launched 
from the middle process, and it was common for mplayer to only accept 
keyboard input for a few seconds, after which the only way to stop it 
was to kill the xserver using ctl-alt-backspace.  I did some testing 
and discovered that if the external player sends back anything via 
stderr then the middle mythfrontend process would steal the focus.  
After that happened, even if I let mplayer go to the end of the file 
and exit on its own, the foreground mythfrontend *still* wouldn't get 
the focus.  The solution was to edit the external player command line 
in mythvideo to append " > /dev/null 2>&1" so that the middle myth 
wouldn't get any feedback and would therefore not steal the focus.

I'm having the same issue and currently issue but running 
mythfrontend without a window manager. Is the only fix to use a 
window manager and enable sloppy focus, or is there a solution 
without running a window manager?

Title: Message



Your 
window is losing focus. Try setting your window manager/desktop so 
that the focus follows the mouse and leave the mouse in the center of the screen 
which is its default position.

I get the same problem. I've not found an actual fix for it but I do 
have a workaround. It's because the mythfrontend window loses focus, so 
if you're running it on a desktop then you can click to another window 
and then back in the mythfrontend window and it will work again.
Alternatively, after watching a video in Xine, navigate to the media 
library and go to recorded programs. Go to any recording and press 
"right" to bring up the list of options and you will find that you 
probably can't select any of them. Press escape and then right again and 
you should now find that the window has focus and you can select the 
options again. The EPG in Live TV will also work again now.
