A backtrace would be nice... doesn't the "This program crashed, send a
bug report" dialog appear? [Perhaps you need Bug-buddy for this to work,
dunno].

That's because in capture mode we own the backend scaler port, so we can
access its controls (in particular the chromakey or overlay color).
In overlay mode we don't grab the port, so we shouldn't (and typically
cannot) mess with its settings.
Actually, what you are seeing it's just a kewl bug :-) The "overlay
color" control shouldn't be available in overlay mode, never. I fixed
this some weeks ago, btw.

You can assign keyboard shortcuts in the channel editor, but I plan to
improve this in the future.

PgUp/PgDown. Up/Down are reserved for TTX mode, so we couldn't pick up
the simpler ones :-)

Used for TTX again. Could you please provide an example when you need
"live" fine tuning? (sp. considering that these changes will be lost
when you switch channels).
