I made a couple scripts "sson" and "ssoff".

sson:
  #!/bin/bash
  xset +dpms s on

ssoff:
  #!/bin/bash
  xset -dpms s off

I then made a wrapper script "mf" for mythfrontend:

  #!/bin/bash
  ssoff
  mythfrontend
  sson

then I just run "mf" and the screensaver is automatically turned 
off, and the frontend is started, and then the screensaver is 
turned back on when (if) I exit.
