I think the point was that he *wants* the auto-shutdown enabled. I'd
say the workaround would be not to have mythfrontend auto-start at boot
time, but possibly to configure something (like irexec) to start
mythfrontend in response to remote keypress.
Other than that, the *real* solution would be to add a configuration
option to mythfrontend to allow it to shut itself down after a certain
idle period, or at least to disconnect itself from the backend so the
backend can shut down. Anyone feel like doing a patch?
