Even if it would, it wouldn't help you much because you couldn't
reopen your OSD in the necessary way (ok, you could define a key macro
and put that into the key queue).

VDR 1.3 will introduce a way of allowing any plugin to bring up an
OSD at any time (by having the main loop poll each plugin in turn),
but that will have to wait until 1.3 is started.
