Well, I'm one step closer.  If I want any of my work to be retained, I have 
to be sure to exit mythfrontend, restart mythfrontend, THEN reboot the 
system and changes are retained.  If I simply make changes then "Exit" from 
the myth main menu -> "Exit and Reboot", everything is gone.  I have tested 
this with new playlists (which become "empty" playlists if I don't first 
exit to the desktop), saving changes to existing playlists (which look oddly 
like they did before I made any changes if I don't first exit to the 
desktop), etc.
