Not to beat a dead horse too badly, but determining whether you are in an
xterm is trivial.
.bash_profile:
if [ "$TERM" != "xterm" ]
then
./startmyth &
fi
then write a simple startmyth script (make sure its executable):
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 # let gnome finish startup
/usr/bin/mythfrontend
Of course adding it to .xsession works equally, but more people are adept
at scripts than configuring X.
