Would you mind sharing the modified xml files? I'd very much like to have an
alternative for a few Myth plugins, especially for MythMusic.

Sure, although it's not up to date. This xml file points to a pre-alpha
manual build of XBMC. The new beta puts a link right in /usr/bin I believe,
so you'd just need to modify the action line.. Here's the code I put into
/usr/share/mythtv/util_menu.xml:

   <button>
     <type>XBMC</type>
     <text>XBMC</text>
     <action>EXEC /home/matt/Xbox/xbmc.bin -q</action>
   </button>

I'm not sure if I claimed it did anything else, did I? It's just a much
better experience than Myth* in both usability and functionality. The Myth
components for the most part work, but they're not something I could hand
over to mom and say have fun. XBMC I can (and have).
