X Events for Mythfrontend Telnet control

Description

I've created this patch based on fixes 18207 that adds support for sending keyboard commands to a focused X window. I've been writing a MythRemote? for my n800 internet tablet and I'm using the Mythfrontend telnet control for sending commands to my frontend. I noticed that when mplayer was focused commands were still sent to the frontend. I created this patch to provide a means to send x commands to the focused window. It adds the xkey command (behaves just like key). I also added a sub command "focused" to retrieve the name of the x window that currently has the focus. Its pretty rough, but I thought I'd send it out to get some discussion started.

I think this is a great addition, but because this is so powerful I'm uncomfortable applying it without some kind of authentication for Network Control being added first.

Unless someone wants to add authentication to this it's a no go.
