Does anyone know of a fix the fluxbox.sh method, other than ssh in from
another machine and kill the processes manually?

When I saw that I was always getting two copies of the frontend launched on
startup, I commented out the lines in fluxbox.sh and switched over to the
"Alternative Method" described in the xbox-linux wiki linked above.  This
got rid of the "2 copies of mythfrontend" problem, but now when I try and
exit myth to get to the Xebian desktop, I only get 5 seconds before
mythfronend launches again...
