I'm using Dharma beta 2 with Win7 and have used the kiosk (shell) mode of win7 to launch xbmc in place of explorer.exe
I have a favourites item that launches firefox.exe with XBMC.System.ExecWait()
this is where my problem occurs - when xbmc freezes it's thread and launches firefox - the screen doesn't redraw so what I see is XBMC still in full screen mode but firefox is actually the active window, so if I move my mouse around the screen the pointer changes the hand when it hovers a link in firefox.
If I send ctrl+alt+delete to pull up the Windows admin screen and then click 'cancel' the screen has redrawn and Firefox is shown as the active window - moreover it shows that XBMC is actually minimized.
When I close firefox and teh xbmc thread unfreezes - it restores to full screen and continues functioning with no problem.
I can't tell if this is an XBMC.system.execwait() problem, or just a result of explorer.exe not being active on the system
