Doesn't look like Qt 3.0.5 knows about those keysyms, but I just checked out
the 3.1 beta that was released recently, and it does. So, should be
supported whenever that's out and in use. I'm not sure if it's possible to
add support to them to 3.0.5 programmatically, though.

As for the Xv stuff, muck around in libs/libNuppelVideo/XJ.cpp, which is where
it does all that. I just use what works for me, really =)

That's good enough for me; I don't mind remapping them to play with mythtv
as long as it's temporary.

I think that normally the right thing to do is to twiddle override_redirect
in the X window attributes so that the window doesn't get decorated if
you're expecting to get the entire screen width/height. It seems like there
should be a Qt-level interface, though, so I'm not sure what to do in this
case.
