mythfrontend checks to see if xscreensaver is running at startup.  If 
not, it won't notice that you start it later...

So, the two requirements for proper xscreensaver support are:
    a) Make sure the command xscreensaver-command is in the PATH of the 
user starting mythfrontend
    b) Make sure you start xscreensaver and that xscreensaver has time 
to initialize before you start mythfrontend.
