The widget "error" is not your problem. I always get that same message
if I quit the frontend. 

Your myth install is borked.

If you are running Mandrake, add thacs rpms along with plf, and the
usual contrib and main sources, and just "urpmi mythtv-suite".

If you need further help, e-mail direct, I'll send you my urpmi config
file.

During the install, urpmi will spit a couple of things in the shell,
like how to create the default database (ignore if you have one) and you
MAY have to reset permissions on the database and on /var/www/html/ to
apache.apache. The services will also have to be set to start. (drakconf
is your friend) 

You will be running mythtv-0.15.1, last I checked.
