Why not setup irexec and the powerbutton on your remote to launch the
frontend for you?

from my .lircrc
###########################################
# Start Myth
begin
prog = irexec
button = POWER
config = /usr/local/pvr/mythpowerbutton.sh
end'


contents of /usr/local/pvr/mythpowerbutton.sh
###########################################
if !(ps -ef | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep); then

        /usr/bin/mythfrontend&

else
        killall -9 mythfrontend


fi
