   I run a dual head graphics card with two different resolutions.  Prior
to 0.18 when I ran on :0.1 it picked up the correct resolution.  0.18 and 
0.18.1 it pickes up the resolution of :0.0.  

[mythtv at quoth ~]$ mythfrontend
2005-06-04 21:59:42.007 New DB connection, total: 1
Total desktop width=640, height=480, numscreens=2
2005-06-04 21:59:42.016 Using screen 0, 1280x1024 at 0,0

It is really using screen 1 though.  If I manually run with
mythfrontend -geometry 640x480
it works ok.

Only screen 1 has xvideo support, I don't know if that is causing the problem
