I mainly use apple remote when I watch a movie with VLC or when I give a presentation using OpenOffice.
Snow Leopard 10.6.1 launched itunes whenever I was using VLC, 10.6.2 OpenOffice just don't detect the remote anymore...
I was worry about security at beginning then I realized Candelair comes from the guys who make Remote Buddy so I decided to give it a try.
Candelair just worked flawlessly when I needed VLC or OpenOffice, the menu is simple but there is only one button I care about : Activate Leopard compatibility mode!
Then the Apple remote just works!

Too bad it doesn't work with Twisted Melon's Matra TR1 receiver. Been looking for a way to get rid of it's Mira software on my Mac Pro that never seems to work right and is crippled under Snow Leopard ($15 for nothing). I'll try it on my MacBook Pro though with it's built in IR.

This driver is excellent, and solves all the various problems that the Apple driver has on Leopard and Snow Leopard.
