Thanks for the help. I've added the request to the end of <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_Wishlist_%28Frontend_Addons%29" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_Wishlist_(Frontend_Addons)</a>.<br>
<br>Also, thanks for the workaround, I've currently been running mythfrontend in a wrapper script which runs mythfrontend and then /sbin/poweroff, which gives me back my shutting down button- however, it still makes the reboot button shutdown the computer instead of rebooting.<br>
<br>Maybe I'll stumble across something better at some point in the future.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Alex<div><span class="e" id="q_11c94bef42484765_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 24/09/2008, <b class="gmail_sendername">David Watkins</b> <<a href="mailto:watkinshome@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">watkinshome@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;">
> Can anyone think of any workarounds to solve this? Perhaps a bug-report to<br> > add an option to make MyhTV act more ilke a regular desktop application?<br> <br> <br>I'd call it a feature request if I were you, and there's somewhere on<br>
the wiki for it to go.<br> <br> If you report it as a bug I'm pretty sure it would get rejected, with<br> a comment along the lines of 'unimplemented features are not bugs'.<br> <br> As far as workarounds go, you could configure the backend to shut the<br>
system down on idle. Then, closing the frontent would cause the<br> machine to shutdown, providing nothing was being recorded at the time.<br> Still not quite the same as a regular desktop application but then<br> MythTV isn't trying to be one. It's trying to be a PVR.<br>

</blockquote><div><br>Just an update on this issue. I managed to find a better way to work
around this in the end. Here's a HOWTO I've put together in case anyone
else stumbles across it in the future:<br>
