xawtv: lirc-modes and irxevent

[Bastian B. <Ba...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've posted the following problem already in the debian bugtracking
system as a bug of xawtv (#134092), but the more I think about it it
seems to be a problem of lirc (or liblirc).

I have a problem related to lirc<->xawtv.

I have set up a more complex ~/.lircrc and it works great if I start
xawtv with irexec. If I start xawtv manually it works also, but not
fully.

I have set up a special ~/.lircrc so one can reproduce the problem.

-~/.lircrc-----------------------------------------------------------
#start xawtv from irexec
begin
	prog   = irexec
	remote = LP20337-004-SAT-BIT
	button = POWER
	config = xawtv&
mode	= xawtv
	flags	= once
end
begin xawtv
#zap to next station (only to show that xawtv receives its signals)
	begin
		prog   = xawtv
		remote = LP20337-004-SAT-BIT
		button = UP
		config = setstation next
	end
#Press key 3 in the Current active window (not necessary xawtv!)
	begin
		prog   = irxevent
		remote = LP20337-004-SAT-BIT
		button = 3
		config = Key 3 CurrentWindow
	end
end xawtv
-~/.lircrc-----------------------------------------------------------

If you start xawtv from irexec with the POWER-Button and then press
the 3-Button it will change to program 3 (or whatever you have key 3
configured to). If you start xawtv manually and then press button 3
nothing happens!

It seems to me, that irexec does not know that it has to be in mode
xawtv.

I'm using lirc 0.6.5.

Thanks in advance
