Why is this?
I was wondering this a few weeks ago, when i discovered it was
my window manager that was causing me troubles trying to get
myth to start ogle to watch DVDs (fvwm2 wasn't centering ogle's window on the screen, 
and I could see the mythtv border along one edge).

I don't know any of the technicalities of it, but it would seem
better to me to just let mythtv run full screen directly without requiring
a window manager, no?
