Hi. I'm really enjoying mythtv now that I've got it up and running. I'm
running the Oct 30 cvs, RH8 on a 800mhz PIII. When I start mythfrontend
I find that it does not go full screen unless I have a 800x600
resolution set up. No matter what, I can't seem to quit mythfrontend
without doing a control-c on the command line. Hitting esc doesn't do
the job. However, if I am running 800x600 then the terminal window is
not clickable (because I'm at full screen). I'm forced to kill xwindows
to get rid of mythfrontend. Is there a better way?

thanks
cedar

Edit theme.txt to change the resolution the Qt UIs resize to. Whatever window
manager you're using doesn't have an alt-tab command to switch windows?
mythfrontend is not meant to be killeable.
