OK, I think I may be on the track of something here.

It seems that mythbackend is running (actully several copise, is that
omral).

I notice that weh I kill the X serverm get back to the gdm login screen,
and login in I see a little box pop up during startup thta seems to have
active tv picture in it. So, my working theory is that somethng is causing
this to stat up whne the mythtv user logs in. Is there some sort of session
file for this user, that I cna clear?
