BUG: Can't hide the initial button mapping chart

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
 
My ideal user experience for Remote Buddy is to eliminate the screens with the default button maps. When I hit the Menu button, I want to see the main menu (unless an app is running). When I choose an app, I want it to just run the app. And so on.

If I disable both the "Descend into the respective context menu when choosing a Behaviour in the menu" and the "Display a button mapping chart for each Behaviour", I *almost* get the behavior I'm looking for. The problem is that when I first hit the Menu button, it still takes me to the Default Behaviour button mapping menu, but because the button map is disabled, the resulting empty menu is amazingly unhelpful. :-)

The only way I've found to get rid of the empty Default Behavior button mapping menu is to disable the Default Behavior behavior entirely. Unfortunately, this means I can't put the machine to sleep except when running a known app. That's also not a good experience.

Am I missing something? This seems like this should not only be easy to achieve, but is probably the typical experience that most users would prefer. Either way, displaying a menu that contains nothing but a "Hide Menu" button is clearly a bug. I would normally expect that when the "Display a button mapping chart for each Behaviour" checkbox is unchecked, the Default Behavior would not show that menu at all, since there is never going to be anything in it.

Thoughts?
