Thank you very much for the help. I set up a Generic activity (Utility section) and added keyboard, WMC SE and remote devices. Got the custom key settings working nicely. XBMC starts nicely, everything seems to be behaving properly.

I have a Harmony One (not at my computer right now) but I am having problems making it put windows to SLEEP/STANDBY.
Should I program MCE Keyboard as a Device? That way I can set-up a Shortcut on my Desktop with a shortcut key (say ctrl+alt+s) for putting the computer to sleep.
If I do that, how do I map ctrl+alt+s to my Harmony Remote as say the Power Off? I realise I need to change that in the Activity, but is it possible? I can’t think of any other way of putting my computer to sleep using my Harmony Remote.
Very, very frustrating. I think my Remote at the moment is using alt+f4 because it keeps bringing up the Windows shutdown dialog box. Not helpful!

I don't know if this is said somewhere, but i just want to give a warning : Harmony with MCE Keybord send Qwerty keys !! If you have an Azerty keyboard, you may spend a long time wondering why some keys work, and others don't or are not doing what expected (M key for exemple wich is absolutely not opening menu...). So, if in the Harmony you've programmed a button to send Z, in your program, you must select W.
I think this warning should be added on the tutorial.
Now, if i've made somewhere a step wrong, enlight me !

I don't know, i have not programmed this one. But if you have an azerty keyboard, and bodhi a qwerty keyboard, maybe, unfortunately, it's "normal".
