The only reason to run mythwelcome is because you have a frontend and 
backend on the same machine.  The backend will not automatically shut 
down if there is a frontend connected to it, so mythwelcome runs in a 
non-blocking mode.  If you have a backend on the same machine, you 
should not be manually triggering a shutdown.  If you don't have a 
backend on the machine, then don't bother with mythwelcome at all.  Use 
the shutdown option on the popup to confirm you want to exit 
mythfrontend, or bind a button on your remote to shutdown directly.
