I haven't used Jarod's guide or FC2, but you should make sure that you 
are not saving your previous session - I had this problem in the past. 
In SuSE you need to go to Yast Control Centre -> KDE Components -> 
Session Manager and select On Login - Start with an empty session 
otherwise it will start up your previous mythfrontend sessions as well 
as the one in the Autostart (quickly adding up to 7 :)
