If you run the mythfronted executable from the terminal, you can see if
it's printing anything to stdout / stderr which should help a lot in
diagnosing your problem.

To do this:

1. Fire up a terminal application. The apple one will do. It's in
Applications/Utilities by default
2. Run the executable bit of your mythfrontend bundle. Mine lives as
/Applications/MythFrontend.app/Contents/MacOS/mythfrontend
3. Watch what comes out, and if you still can't solve the problem, post
the output to this list.
