If you run:
file /usr/bin/mythfrontend
you'll find that Ubuntu renames mythfrontend binary and puts a script
called mythfrontend in its place. The mythfrontend script sets up the
environment properly (so you have a proper HOME directory and
configuration to allow mythfrontend to run properly), then runs the
binary--which they call mythfrontend.real.
So, you need to set up a proper environment, then redo the same thing
you've done, but using /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real as the application name.
