Ummm.  It's open source.  No need for a work around.  If you don't like 
it, you can change it in your version. ;)

Just delete the lines

    bool frontendOnly = gContext->IsFrontendOnly();

and

    if (frontendOnly)

(on or about lines 459 and 466 of programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp).  
Then, recompile and enjoy.

Or, even better, check out MythWelcome/MythShutdown (see 
programs/mythwelcome/README) and you can probably use stock versions 
(even pre-compiled binary versions) and still have your machine shut 
down--even automatically.
