OK, I found the startup.sh script in /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart, but 
adding the mythfrontend call to it has no effect.  Anything else I 
should be looking for?  Here's my /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/startup.sh 
script:

[mythtv at HJDMyth ~]$ more .kde/Autostart/startup.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/mythfrontend &

Thanks,
