Set a different HOME in one of the environments, then have a
$HOME/.mythtv with a different config.xml.
So:
mkdir -p /home/mythtv/.mythtv-vnc/.mythtv
then put the config.xml in place, then
export HOME=/home/mythtv/.mythtv-vnc
mythfrontend
or use MYTHCONFDIR.

No, sorry. If I did know, it wouldn't be segfaulting, but would exit
with a useful error message telling you how to fix the problem. :)
