I've been trying to replace KDE with Ratpoison, but KDE seems to have an extremely strong will to live and no matter what I do I can't get any other window manager to start up. Here's what I've done.
Here is how I did it for an extremely light weight setup (and easy for the wife to use):
These may be Redhat/Fedora centric.
First edit your /etc/inittab and change the default run state from 5 to 3 (if it isn't already). Also add "--noclear --autologin mythtv" to the mingetty line for tty1. The two modified lines in /etc/inittab should look like this:
id:3:initdefault: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin mythtv tty1
Next add "exec startx" to the end of your ~/.bash_profile (in my case /home/mythtv/.bash_profile).
Add "exec mythfrontend" to the end of your ~/.ratpoisonrc.
And create the following .xinitrc:
#/bin/sh xset -dpms s off
ratpoison&
mythfrontend > /var/log/mythtv/frontend.log 2>> /var/log/mythtv/frontend.err
Thats it, just power on the computer, it autologs in and starts MythTV.
