Sean, I appreciate the feedback. Not quite what I'm looking for, though. Right now I start up KDE, and then start myth frontend by pressing the Power button on my remote, which lircd catches and then uses to start Myth. I'm using the method described in the Tips 'n' Tricks section of Jarod's guide. What I'd like is for the frontend to start, without me having to press any buttons on the remote, iff I started the Myth box manually. I know it seems a bit lazy, but it makes sense to me that if I started the box manually, the frontend should start. Lane -- Meetup with other Myth users! http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/MUG
