Hi Mathew,

Yes, maybe the simple touch-screen/mouse interface needs more work, my
kids find it fine in the back of the car though :)
Maybe an OSD display of the function being carried out when a button
is pressed would be sufficient ?

At least th split of the keyboard functions to the two functions
xinebrowser_command() and xinebrowser_win_event_loop() may make it easier
for people to add other such interfaces ..

I can get some pics for you, I will get my camera out ...
Thanks again for the work on this.
