Thanks, I was thinking some kind of log checking routine might be the  
way to go. I've got a script attached to my power button for power off  
but (as far as I know) there's no way of knowing whether it was pushed  
to trigger a power on. Will give this one a go.

Yeah, this is what scares me about enabling some of these options -  
would be nice because the fans in my media case are reasonably loud  
(supposed to be controllable according to the literature but only my  
graphics card fan seems to respond to speed changes).

Hopefully there'll be some further dev unifying MythWelcome with the  
back and frontend software - the WAF is impacted a touch when  the  
system is expected to behave pretty much like any other dumb appliance  
in the house but requires extra finessing.
