My backend is also headless, but you can run mythfrontend to a remote X11 
machine, as long as the "backend's frontend" is set to use the Qt painter, 
and you don't try to actually watch anything. All we are trying to do is run 
it and exit again. 

If I ssh to my backend, and run "mythfrontend" -- the frontend process shows 
up on the machine I ssh'ed in from.
