I don't think it has to be that complicated.

1) Shutdown the mythtv process on the working frontend
2) start a new copy of the mythfrontend on the frontend system in a VNC 
session or run over ssh -Y


alternately, you can pass the host identified when starting 
mythfrontend.  Then you could run the frontend on any sytem and make the 
changes.
