Well, this is a netboot frontend - I don't want to use KDE which is way
overkill for MythTV only - I don't use it for anything else - also it is
a memory/resource hog for an "ancient" computer (P3 666MHz) plus use up
a lot of hard drive space on my server.
I personally prefer WindowMaker for day to day use anyway!
But anyway. Tried your suggestion - you missed out the "local" bit -
should have been /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend - but anyway it works if I
use startx - but if I log in using GDM, it doesn't work.
Thanks very much for your help anyway!
Cheers - Piers

one of the most popular desktops out there. I use Gnome on my "work"
machine because I prefer it over KDE. Besides, once it's running the
window manager makes little difference.
As far as how to start up mythfrontend... Go to a terminal window logged
in as the mythtv user. With FVWM you probably need to right or
left-click on the desktop to get a menu of apps. Select the terminal.
Once you do that, edit your ".xsession" file (note the leading period is
important). If you don't have one, create one. Use Pico or VI... My
personal preference is vi.
Once you're editing it, on the last line in the file (or first if it's a
new file), put in "/usr/bin/mythfrontend" (presuming that's where it's
installed). Then if in vi, press ctrl+c, :, then type "wq!" and hit
enter. Once you're back to the command line, type "chmod +x .xsession"
and hit enter.
Now voila... Log off, log on and you should have mythfrontend auto
launched.
