Well, I don't have KDE or Gnome installed :) Only Windowmaker and FVWM
but they aren't used. My .xinitrc just has a few "xset" lines in and
the path to the mythfrontend binary itself and nothing else. When I
used FVWM as window manager it windowed the video playback which annoyed
me - removi
If you are using X, then you are still using a display manager whether or not you have automatic login. If you want to be able to shutdown from mythfrontend, then you need to match you display manager with your desktop manager.
i.e. kdm if using kde or gdm if using gnome.KDE and Gnome tie into t
No display manager and not using KDE.
When the computer boots up, it loads mythfrontend on its own. No log in
manager, nothing. It's intended to be used only for a frontend in my
bedroom, so no big deal if someone hacked in and powered the frontend
off - very unlikely anyway.
Hmm. But the

it's chmod not chown - but that fixed the problem. Brilliant - thanks! :)
Not too worried about any users being able to power the computer off -
