I've gotten farther. Mythfrontend is running and I now have the blue 
background on screen but no menu. But I now have a log. Nothing really I 
can see. It's connecting to the backend. The last few lines:

I removed a bunch of modules that I though might be conflicting, 
mythbrowser, mythnetvision, mytharchive, etc. But still no help.

Interesting that when I change my .xinitrc to run mythtv-setup I get the 
same blue background with no menu.
