[Lcdproc] disabling internal LCDd menu

[Vallevand, Mark K]

I, too, would like to find a way to disable the default screen and menu.
I want to see nothing on the screen until my client starts running.  If
there is an easy patch, I'd love it.  I'm looking at the code and might
try something today, but there are lots of other things on my plate.

Regards.

For the first approach, I think I will give it a try to make the LCDd
internal menu configurable (enable/disable only via LCDd.conf entry).
The
hotkey support for lcdexec seems a little bit too big for me since I
don't
know the LCDproc internals.
