Had a quick go on my lunch hour and it's working. Sometimes it doesn't respond to a key press but on the whole it's working as I want it to.
I just ordered a receiver from ebay (search for usb receiver mce) and I got one of the silver ones for about £8/9. Took two weeks to come from Hong Kong though. You just add it as a device in the Logitech software as a Media Centre PC:Microsoft:MCE Keyboard, and then customise the buttons as you want them.
Don't think it's possible to boot from the remote, but I can use my phone to Wake on Lan, or just get of my bum! Shut down didn't work, but I don't think I've enabled it in the xbmc settings (as I've normally just exited xbmc).
