MythTV is designed to run full screen, so there is little to know use in
running a full desktop environment such as KDE or Gnome that you will
never see. That said, MythTV is not a window manager, and should not be
run without one. Look at ratpoison, or evilwm, or icewm, or
enlightenment, or fluxbox.
