[mythtv-users] Possible Mythbuntu 9.04 Setup config Bug for Halting sytem

I setup a new mythbuntu jaunty system from scratch recently and ran into a
problem with the exit options - reboot worked, but shutdown just exited to
the desktop.

I tracked it down to the halt command configured by default for the
mythfrontend:
Setup|General - Miscellaneous page.

The Halt command was set to "halt", which requires sudo access, when it
should be:
  /usr/share/mythtv/myth-halt.sh

The reboot command was set correctly.

Has anyone else seen this? I couldn't find it reported on launchpad. Onless
someone corrects me I'll report it as a bug.


Additinally, the xfce desktop was configured to query shutdowns/reboots by
default and save session info, which seems problematic for a keyboardless
appliance setup.
