I use myth on my primary desktop system and usually like watching programs

to accomplish that.
Why don't you just run it as a different user?
Kinda dumb to have to add users just to get a different resolution. That, and the irritation of getting X auth to cross users... all in all, this sounds like a reasonable solution to the problem.
A prefs switch is easily accomplished via the mysql.txt frontend identifier; it would be nice to have something akin to Mozilla's Profile Manager to switch between different identifiers. What about this: if one specifies multiple identifiers somehow in mysql.txt, then at startup, mythfrontend asks which one it should use for that session. (It doesn't ask if there's only one, and daemons like mythbackend would always use the first identifier, unless there's a command-line switch or something.)
FWIW, this is something I accomplish by cd'ing into a directory with a custom mysql.txt, but I also needed to change the code not to whack the theme cache.
In the above scheme, Myth could maintain one themecache per identifier/profile, so the cache only grows relative to the number of profiles you use. In the current default case, there would be one profile and one cached theme configuration.
