Ratpoison is great for HTPC usage. Here's how you get it working on Mythbuntu with GDM (will probably work for others, untested).
$ sudo apt-get install ratpoison $ sudo cp /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh /usr/share/mythbuntu/ratpoison-session.sh
then edit /usr/share/mythbuntu/ratpoison-session.sh and change the last line from:
exec startxfce4
to:
exec ratpoison
Next:
$ sudo cp /usr/share/xsessions/mythbuntu.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/ratpoison.desktop
...then change the Exec entry to:
Exec=/usr/share/mythbuntu/ratpoison-session.sh
Then edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to look something like:
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=your-mythtv-user TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=your-mythtv-user TimedLoginDelay=10 DefaultSession=ratpoison
...or if you're on Oneiric and using LightDM:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults] autologin-guest=false autologin-user=your-mythtv-user autologin-user-timeout=0 autologin-session=lightdm-autologin user-session=ratpoison allow-guest=false #autologin-user=
My .ratpoisonrc contains:
~/.ratpoisonrc
escape C-r addhook switchwin banish exec /usr/bin/xset -dpms >/dev/null exec /usr/bin/xset s off >/dev/null exec /usr/bin/mythfrontend --service
