Hanging out on IRC, got an idea from juski...

I wonder if anyone could help me with a frontend that restarts X upon playback?
harvest316: yes. disable compiz or beryl
...
I'm back with good news!
world peace?
I've won the lottery?
juski: yay! mythtv works much better without compiz. THANK YOU!
harvest316: don't thank juski, his head might just explode with the shock!
I havent had to disable or uninstall it yet, as I found there's an option for MythTV where you can select between gnome & KDE at login. That seems to work reasonably well.
...
Lets just say I've nailed my biggest bug: getting mythfrontend to play any kind of video at all.
my next challenge is a little harder to search for, coz I dont yet have the words to describe it.
simply put: how do I get mythfrontend to write to a log?
...
harvest316: you could metacity --replace&
harvest316: that will replace compiz with metacity until you logout
converting it back to old gnome until your done using mythfrontend
i use a similar command to enable compiz temp since my system doesnt allways support it
