I use gdm and have set it up to do a timed login of the mythtv user.
So after 10 seconds it logs that user in. That user has default
session that just runs mythfrontend in a loop. If I want to log in as
someone else I just hit ctrl-alt-del to restart X. It's not ideal but
it works well enough for me at the moment.
