I have a lot of front end lock ups too. I've been able to use
ctrl-alt-rightarrow
to switch desktops. I leave a terminal open in that desktop with
"killall mythfrontend.real" in the history. It's a pain, but at least
it's only the
frontend and not the backend. I haven't gotten a remote control yet, but when I
do, I'm going to dedicate a key to killing and restarting the frontend if that's
possible.
Cheers...
