I am absolutely sure I am killing off the original mythfrontend
task. The frontend log file shows that 2 instances of the
frontend are started simultaneously, as reflected by the interleaving
of duplicate messages in leapfrog fashion. <br>
<br>
Very strange indeed.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/8/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Larry K</b> <<a href="mailto:lunchtimelarry@gmail.com">lunchtimelarry@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Are you referring to the post that mentioned enabling KDE desktop
sharing? Otherwise, I didn't see anything in that thread that
seems to address my problem. Meanwhile, if you figure this out,
be sure to post :)<div><span class="e" id="q_103bf0166d116440_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/8/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Garry Cook</b> <<a href="mailto:garrycook@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
