thanks for your thoughts.

There is a reason why Front Row is integrated directly by emulating 
keystrokes: compatibility. It's the only way to ensure Front Row 
works with whatever remote control will be supported in the future.

What you suggest works fine for the Apple Remote and also for the 
Keyspan RF Remote for Front Row. But it will not work for other 
sources of remote control input.

I'll think about replacing the feedback option with a new "Send 
praise .." option ;-) .. but .. seriously: this product to a great 
part lives from the feedback and ideas of its users, so this is 
probably not a good idea. If you find it really annoying, I may add a 
checkbox to remove it from the menu in the final version, though ;-)

Best regards, 
Felix
