Yeah, this is a currently unsolvable problem.  libdvdnav provides a 
stream with events in it, so we can't really cache it.

One idea I'm pondering is opening the DVD twice.  Once with libdvdnav for 
the events, and once through regular mplayer methods.  I'm not sure if 
that's a hack, or a reasonable way to do it.  I'd rather not shove all of 
libdvdnav into mplayer just to use their VM.

old patch didn't have anything.  This new patch requires that you move the 
menu selection at least once (with H, J, K, or L).

I noticed this too.  Really strange.  If my focus was the xterm I ran 
mplayer from, the M got through.  If it focused on the window playing the 
dvd, the M was ignored.  No clue.
