So, I've been trying to think about what could be different between
selecting "shutdown now" in Mythwelcome, and letting the idle timer count
down. There's one possibly that occurs; perhaps those who know could
confirm or deny it?

Is it possible that, despite being configured through MythWelcome, the
shutdown command when the machine is idle actually comes from mythbackend?
In that case, the hibernate script would presumably be a child process of
mythbackend, so when it stops mythbackend, it would itself be killed.
That makes some sense, if it's true. Is it?

Thanks :-)
