Mailing List Archive: Hang on leaving 'watch recording'

I've been away for a bit and I've now got my system operational with the
latest CVS. It's looking quite reasonable but I have 2 queries:

1) mythfrontend hangs when I esc from watching a show I recorded. I can ssh
in from another PC and kill and restart the frontend, but otherwise it is
dead. I've got a Geforce 4 card, Hauppage bt848 tv card and an Athlon 1800
system. This is pretty reliable for me (happens every time)

2) Not a myth issue, but someone here might be able to help. I'm using
mandrake 9.0 and I've set up my mythtv user to auto start on bootup with the
TWM window manager, except what actually starts is kde. If I logout and
login without a restart I get TWM as expected. Anyone got any ideas

Thanks for all the great software . . .

Could you recompile for debugging and follow the instructions in the docs on
how to generate a backtrace? Just run mythfrontend in gdb, and when it
hangs, alt-tab or whatever to the term window and hit ctl-c to break
execution.
