Well, that is probably it.  Not too long ago, with the help of this list, I
did change my configuration.  I have an LCD screen that gets the ubuntu
desktop and a SVideo TV that gets mythfrontend.  If I close Mythfrontend, I
am left with this odd blue desktop with some kind of animal in the center
with the letters KFCE.

Is there something I should do or do I live with it.  I want the normal
desktop on the LCD so I can do system level things, call up mythweb, and
firefox there.
