[mythtv-users] Best option for frontend autostart FC12/Gnome

[steve]

I want to set up auto-login and mythfrontent auto start.  There seem to be a
lot of options and not much advice for how to choose between them.  

 

The wiki page for setting up mythtv on fedora suggests editing
/etc/gdm/custom.conf to auto-login, then using a shell script to start the
frontend, but it's for KDE and I can't find the equivalent for
~/.kde/Autostart in Gnome.  Is there one?

 

Another wiki page http://mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Auto_Login gives an option
1 with sub-options no window manager and window manager.  Not completely
sure what a window manager does (different than Gnome?) or if I need/want
one.  There is an option 2 that seems simpler until I get to all the stuff
on runlevels.

 

What  I am trying to accomplish is to auto-login, start x, then start
mythfronend.  I'd like to be able to escape out of mythfrontend and get the
Gnome interface if I want to.  What is the best way to accomplish this?

 

TIA..Steve
