I used to have this problem. To get around it, I simply enabled
'Desktop Sharing' in the KDE Control Panel under Internet Components.
Now, I only get one instance of mythfrontend, and I can control the
console window when I login via VNC. There is also a way to do this
via the xorg.conf file, I think there were some posts about this a
little while ago.
