Better LIRC support
Summary

All the required lirc patches are now in lirc upstream and in rawhide. Work is on-going upstream on the gnome-lirc-properties Fedora-specific patches, as well as upstream blocker bugs.
More changes will be necessary to allow applications to provide some sensible default keybindings.
Detailed Description
Currently setting up LIRC remote controls requires a lot of editing, by hand, with little or no hand-holding. It should be possible to use an infra-red remote control without needing to use a terminal, or edit text files by hand.
Benefit to Fedora
Easier to use.
Scope
Will require changes to lirc, as well as inclusion of gnome-lirc-properties. We might also need to modify some applications to be setup out of the box.
Test Plan
Using a supported remote control, we should be able to control Totem or Rhythmbox without needing access to a terminal.
User Experience
Easier to use!
Dependencies
- lirc patches for the Fedora package
- gnome-lirc-properties package review
- gnome-lirc-properties Fedora specific patches
Contingency Plan
This feature does not affect any other parts of the system, so no contingency plans are required.
