[mythtv] Running multiple window managers/dekstops

[Bertus]

Yep....I know that you can run startx -- :1 ...but I remember that somebody
put script up to do everything at Booting.

I have a 29" HDTV monitor with VGA port so I have "tv" but not really, is
more like PC-Monitor. So the tv-out is not an issue for me.

I just want to have a nice MythTV running full screen on Blackbox, Enlight
or something similar and then to be able to switch to my regular gnome to do
stuff like browsing, chatting or video conferencing, etc. So I would not be
"watching tv" while I use gnome.

As you can see as long as Myth keeps on running in the background
(recording, etc) is fine if it nothing displays.

Thanks for answering!

Roberto
