That's certainly one thing that can cause it, but he said it was fine before 
the upgrade. Notice that he mentions the KDE desktop.

Maybe he sees what I am seeing: Mythfrontend crashes the X server on 
termination. This is with the proprietary nvidia driver from Atrpms.

Oh, and the xsession is a standard kdm login session. I start the fe after 
login by clicking on an icon ;-)
