[Mandrake Cooker system, although I'm not sure that this is a
Mandrake Cooker specific problem]

I've got the following ~/.xinitc:

xset -dpms s off &
irxevent &
mythfrontend &
blackbox

And autologin is set.  When the box reboots it automatically starts
as the mythtv user, and mythfrontend comes up.  The issue is that the
fonts for the opening screen (and others) are _tiny_.

Now, if I exit out of mythfrontend, then exit out of blackbox, I get
taken to the KDM login screen.  If I login as mythtv with blackbox as
the WM, open a terminal session and type the above commands,
mythfrontend comes up in all of its beautiful glory.

I've tried to add:
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/q
t3/bin:/home/mythtv/bin
export QT_XFT=1

to the top of the file, but it's still not looking right.  Any
thoughts / suggestions?
