If I run it from the command line it works fine. I'm not 100% sure if
I'm using KDE or not, but the original script file called
/usr/share/mythdora/mythfrontend.sh and that used to work (until I
removed it and upgraded to SVN). So, I'm going with the assumption that
I'm using KDE. The auto-login as the mythtv user still works as
always. Also, the permissions on that file are 755 and are owned by
mythtv.mythtv (user.group).
Thanks,
Harry
