You can run mythfrontend without a window manager, but it caused
problems for me when I was using mythvideo/dvd.
Better to do something like this (my .xinitrc) ...
ctwm &
irexec &
mythfrontend
I have irexec in there as some of my remote buttons call xosd. Loading
mythfrontend last in the foreground will cause X to quit when you leave
myth. If you want to try it without the window manager, just leave out
that line (ctwm for me, fvwm2 for you).
