mythtv-xbox runs the Blackbox (maybe afterstep?)  window manager, no 
need for KDE.

I'm in the same boat as Jamison: 2 v1.0 xboxes running mythtv-xbox.  It 
works great, but the new version of MXB doesn't recognize my Kameleon 
remote correctly.

Also a side-note. If you have the chance, get a v1.1-1.4 xbox. The 
v1.0's have a Thompson DVD drive that is crap. It's terribly picky about 
the media you use... I had to use a DVD-R (none of my half-dozen brands 
of CD-RWs would read without errors).  I understand the newer xboxes 
have different drives in them (Philips?) that are much better about media.
