Hmmm... off the top of my head, there are several ways to do this.
- Are you using a login manager such as gdm, kdm or xdm? I use gdm, and I
have a session type for MythTV that starts the appropriate WM & apps
(irxevent, mythfrontend). This is the default session for my 'tv' user.
- I'm not sure of the mechanism at the moment (don't have access to my box
at the moment, or man pages), but I think you can put your commands in
${HOME}/.Xclients or ${HOME}/.Xclients-<hostname>, or may ${HOME}/.xsession.
If you read through the X startup scripts under /etc/X11/... you'll see how
these are called & under what circumstances.
You still need to select an appropriate window manager, as Myth won't work
properly without one. I personally had some focus issues with twm, and I
currently use FVWM. Others report good results with Blackbox. YMMV. Good
luck.
