will I avouid that only with keymap file? or must I do something else?

Unfortunately: No, you have to use at least another program which interferes with the button-presses.
The guide-key is hardcoded by Microsoft to launch their MediaCenter (never understood why they don't simply give us the possibility to remap those things (without a registry-hack)).
However - with the help of AutoHotkey I am able to catch that button and let it launch/refocus on XBMC (if my XBMC is minimized and I press the guide button, XBMC just gets back into focus).

Everything else is mapped via the keymap.xml (using a harmony 600 with the receiver I got from speedlink).

I could post both, the keymap.xml and the autohotkey-script, once I'm at home tonight, if anyone has interest?

Need help? Check out my XBMC Frodo Guide. It contains full featured guides to Sickbeard and CouchPotato as well.
