I use idnlog to display the current phone caller name and number on tv, 
by using svdrsend.pl
I just did a test. i opened tetris and by accident, my sister in law 
called on the phone.
the reult was, that the tetris plugin was shattered, the message diplay 
line, was transparent black on top of the screen,
insteas of beieng green and at the bottom. furthermore video and sound 
of the live a/v was heavily distorted.

there should be some way to stop the games plgun from  using the osd, 
while the main thread uses the osd.
maybe the cStatus class can be used...

i think  the core vdr should improve this in helping the plugins in some 
way, to not mix up the osd.

gunnar
