[mythtv-users] Screen-blanking after mythfrontend crashes

When mythfrontend is started for the first time on a clean boot, the screen
blanks and monitor goes into power-saving after several minutes of non-TV
activity -- as configured. After mythfrontend crashes (which it sometimes
does, still), and is restarted, the screen no longer blanks.

In case others have run into this, I fixed with
xset +dpms
before restarting mythfrontend. Just leaving a note for the archive since it
puzzled me for a while.
