For my money, just having the four buttons in displayserver isn't that exciting to me for day-to-day usage. I'm looking forward to the day when Frank's applet includes a clickable picture of the remote control, too...

I am very ashamed to tell you I had this feature lying around for two months allready.
Brian Mihulka sent me a modified version of displayserver and applet which had the remote-control embedded in the applet. I was planning to incorporate it into the main program, but forgot about it.
I will try to get the modification in 1.1 this week.
The holidays are over, so I can spent some time on version 2.0 now, which will be a complete rewrite of the original version.
