I needed a visual walkthrough to get the Enable Exclusively part done. Thanks for posting this. With that said, I'm in the same situation as you were in when you wrote this article. Last night I got my setup just like I wanted it. Remote (Harmony One) was working perfectly (at least for XBMC, which is all I worked on). This morning I was doing a bit of work on it when it locked up hard and wouldn't do anything for 5 minutes. That's when I reset the computer manually. Later this morning I realized that my EventGhost profile had never been saved, and that I was back to square one. Needless to say I'm saving religiously now. Going to be resetting up the XBMC configuration tonight...and adding Boxee as well this weekend. Thanks to this nice little article I'll be able to avoid crossover between the two. Btw...the way I switch between apps is setup the Harmony One with two different devices, one called XBMC and one called Boxee. Then I just have one of the soft buttons programmed to be the Power Button, which tells Eventghost to fire up the program. That way the button configurations are completely separate, so I can change one without affecting the other. While they are similar, they are still different enough to warrant a separate profile. The IR codes the remote sends aren't different, but the labels on the buttons are slightly different, and it's nice to match up what is displayed on the remote with what's on screen.
