For me it wasn't clear as well and more importantly it *DOES NOT* work
like this, at least not for me.
I'm runng 0.24+fixes on Ubuntu 10.04. LTS. The backend shuts down the PC
when it's idle and it wakes up 2 minutes before the recording would
start. The mythtv user logs in automatically with a delay of 30 seconds.
But mythwelcome *ALWAYS* starts the frontend, no matter whether I
switched on the PC manually or it switched on because of a scheduled
recording.
