There's absolutely no reason to always run mythfrontend with a geometry 
override.  Instead, just set mythfrontend's settings to specify a size 
of 1920x1080 (or 0x0 if running on a 1920x1080 monitor/if you want full 
screen) with an X & Y offset of 0.

In other words, you should set the settings to tell MythTV what you want 
rather than use a settings override on every start of MythTV.
