Don't use ratpoison but I do something similar directly in .xsession,
suspect the problem is that the first two commands return but
mythstart.sh probably doesn't.  Do you need something explicit to
background it?  So are you sure the irexec you see is the one started
there?

And I'm using the --daemon switch on irexec to background it properly.
Hmm, looking at the manpage it says I needed to explicitly specifify the
config file but I'm not and it works.  Something to watch for though.
