These are both Xboxes with the Xbox LED stuff on, right?  I've noticed
here that things happen better if after starting up the frontend you
wait for the first connection to occur to query backend status.

I need to get a backtrace to see if I can figure out a work around my
Xbox is dead until at least Monday when FedEx delivers a needed part.

Isaac, perhaps having it not wait for the timeout the first time,
just query and set the LED as soon as the frontend starts up?

So MegaDeTH you might try waiting until the LED is set the first time.
What Linux distribution are you using?  I have my setup change the LED
if mythfrontend is killed so my wife or I can see a difference once
mythfrontend comes up and sets it.
