There are cases where mythfrontend will open external X
applications. There are cases where not having a window manager
causes improper behavior even within mythfrontend itself. The
application is designed and tested under the assumption a window
manager will always be present. When the resource needs of
lightweight window managers are so small, what good reason is
there to not run one?<br>

<div>If there's ever any hope for myth to be supported on
platforms such as Raspberry pi , there will be no choice but to
run myth and only myth. </div>
<div>No window manager, and no X for that matter. <span></span> </div>

I'm curious. I've not jet got involved with pi, so I'm *really*
curious, how *does* one do without X at all, save for old curses
days flat and single channel displays?*<br>

*I'm intimately familiar with Windows 3, 3.1, etc. I'm super
comfortable with a shell or dos prompt. I'm only simply curious as
to how it's handled.<br>
