[mythtv-users] Can mythtv be started without a wimdowmanager

> Just curious: can myth be started without starting a window manager?

Sure.  

It's what I do.  My .xsession file contains a single line:

/home/mythtv/bin/startmyth

And that file contains

#!/bin/bash
irexec >>/home/mythtv/irexec.log 2>&1 &
sleep 1
mythfrontend >>/home/mythtv/mythfrontend.log 2>&1

> (Or conversely can it get the function of the window manager?)

No, I don't think so.
