No.  I use fvwm as my window manager and have this in my .fvwm2rc:


AddToMenu "Mythtv-Popup" "Mythtv" Title
+               "tiny" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 320x240 &
+               "tiny-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 320x180 &
+               "small" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 640x480 &
+               "small-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 640x360 &
+               "normal" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 800x600 &
+               "normal-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 800x450 &
+               "large" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 1024x768 &
+               "large-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 1024x576 &
+               "720" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 1280x720 &
+               "full" Exec mythfrontend &

I need to add a 1080 option.  My menu is a bit out of date.

That's the other thing.  It seems to bake in an assumption that
there's only one frontend process running on any given host.  That's a
bad assumption.
