[mythtv-users] VNC launches second mythfrontend

I've found that if I run vncserver that a second mythfrontend is running as 
shown by 'ps -A'.
This second mythfrontend can be independently closed from the vnc client and 
the one on the console remains.
The vnc session that appears on the remote client is otherwise different 
than the console session.

Here's my theory.  If anyone has suggestions on how to avoid this it would 
be most welcome.

I use Jarod's ~/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh, which among other things starts 
mythfrontend.
Since vnc starts a new KDE session, I think this gets run again for the vnc 
session and therefore mythfrontend starts a second time.

I would think this would be common as I suspect many people use both Jarod's 
script and vnc.
