Comment:

 I thought I'd taken care of multiple custom events getting queued up while
 the frontend was running by calling
 {{{
 gContext->removeListener(this)
 }}}
 just before running the frontend. It must not be working the way I thought
 it was.

 Actually I can see why it's not working now. The backend is sending these
 SCHEDULE_CHANGE and RECORDING_LIST_CHANGED messages to the event socket in
 Mythwelcome but because its blocked waiting for the frontend they don't
 get processed and dispatched until the frontend exits. By this time the
 listener has been put back. Doh!!
