A simpler, yet arguably slightly more bloated route is to install gdm and use its menu system to setup autologin for a particular account. I did this with fluxbox as that account's window manager. Then I setup fluxbox to launch mythfrontend and everything is set. Sure there is some gtk and etc bloat but for a noob its much easier to setup than messing with arcane stuff like inittab .xsession or .xinitrc. Plus, IMHO its less brittle than scriptifying it. Paul
