Not to beat a dead horse too badly, but determining whether you are in an
xterm is trivial.

.bash_profile:

   if [ "$TERM" != "xterm" ]
   then
      ./startmyth &
   fi

then write a simple startmyth script (make sure its executable):

   #!/bin/bash

   sleep 10  # let gnome finish startup
   /usr/bin/mythfrontend

Of course adding it to .xsession works equally, but more people are adept
at scripts than configuring X.
