You may say that, but there is NO benefit to running a window manager 
and there is NO focus issues. I've been running a pure frontend for 8 
months without a window manager. Mythtv doesn't present multiple windows 
so you never lose focus. So if you're ONLY using a remote - i.e. not 
using a keyboard to type into the myth web browser, etc, then there is 
no use in running a window manager.

You can point to all the wiki's you want, but unless you can show me a 
use case which focus is lost without a windows manager running, then i 
stand by my statement and so does my wife.
