MythTV is designed to run full screen, so there is little to
know use in<br>
running a full desktop environment such as KDE or Gnome that
you will<br>
never see. That said, MythTV is not a window manager, and
should not be<br>
run without one. Look at ratpoison, or evilwm, or icewm, or<br>
enlightenment, or fluxbox.<br>

the backend only. Of course I'll install a GUI OS on the
front end.<br>

My misunderstanding. The backend has no need for Xorg or any GUI.
The most you need is the base Xorg libraries, to allow X
applications to be forwarded to a remove X server.<br>
