Hi - glad you're enjoying Myth!
As for point one, if the remote is a multi device type (ie - you can enter codes to make it behave like diffent manufacturers remotes) the buttons which don't work may not be defined for the type of remote you have it set to. I have an All In One remote and if I set it to some types of DVD player the coloured (RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW) buttons don't send any signal. I had to play around with IRW and different device codes until I found a device for which 99% of the buttons send a signal. I'm pretty sure I've still got one that doesn't do anything.
To get the frontend to autorun under KDE just cd to /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart and create a symlink to mythfrontend. (try ln -s /usr/bin/mythfrontend once you’re in the Autostart directory). Obviously you'll need to adjust the path if you have mythfrontend installed elsewhere. Jarrod has some more interesting advice on his site where he uses a small script in the same path to restore volume levels and load nvidia settings so you might want to try that. I've just read the last point BTW and if you've already added entries in .kde/Autostart the reason it's not loading is because it's not starting KDE, you're getting a failsafe session instead.
I'm not sure about /dev/video0, but I'll bet it's something to do with udev. My backend runs on a FC2 box so I don't see the same problem (FC2 still uses devfs over udev). I'm sure Jarrod had a patch to add entries to the udev rules for ivtv but I can't see it on his site right now. I'm sure someone else can help with this.
Not sure why you're getting a failsafe login. Did you use a failsafe login just before you set autologin? Not sure if gdm remebers the last login type. Try turning off auto login then selecting a normal session and loging in manually. At least that'll tell you if there are any problems with the setup.
I hope at least some of that is helpful!
Cheers
Paul
