Most likely, some script ran when it woke from sleep and stole the
focus.  You may need to write your own script to set the focus back to
the frontend app.

See: http://superuser.com/questions/60473/is-there-a-way-to-call-a-script-when-ubuntu-wakes-up-from-suspend-or-hibernate-m

Here is the command to change the focus back to the frontend:  wmctrl
-a MythTV Frontend

Good luck
