If you just run mythtv, mythmusic, mythweather, mythnews, mythgallery, (and 
maybe) mythbrowser + mythphone, you're fine without one.  If you use mythdvd 
or mythvideo or mythgame, however, you start launching external applications, 
which means other windows on screen.  This basically requires a window 
manager to take care of key focus issues.
