Do --no-splash and/or --no-logo not do the trick for you (see "xine -h")? > A further problem I have experienced sporadically, is when quitting > out of xine, myth is not refocused correctly. Seems like a window-manager-configuration problem to me. Why run a window manager at all? I know there have been lots of posts about using ratpoison, fvwm2, etc., but my .Xsession just says: #!/bin/sh xsetroot -solid black [some other irrelevant junk] ... mythfrontend [end] When I start xine/mplayer, they always seem to be on "top", and when I quit them, mythfrontend has the focus again (being the only application left running). When mythfrontend exits, I'm back at the tty1 command prompt. --Rob
