what's this do?  (I'm unfamiliar with nvtv)

As for me, I'm running Redhat 9, and at the advice of a frield, I use a
.Xclients file:

#!/bin/bash

#Start a window manager
blackbox &
                                                                                                         #Start the IR event server
/usr/bin/irxevent &

#Start MythTV
/usr/bin/mythfrontend

First, I logged in via gnome and used redhat's tools to set it up to
auto-login as my myth user, and then told GDM to use the "default"
window manager instead of Gnome (default will load the ~/.Xclients
file).

I grabbed the blackbox rpm from freshrpm's redhat 8 repository.  The src
wouldn't compile, but the binary seems to work just fine. (they don't
have one in their redhat 9 repository yet).

mythbackend and lirc start via the sysV init stuff...
