<p>Have you tried just leaving those applications you want running in the background and using alt tab to switch between them? I usually leave Firefox running behind myth for youtube and assorted web surfing and just flick back and forth.</p>

Mythfrontend normally runs fullscreen, and I also want to be able to<br>
use the desktop underneath it. The only keyboard minimising control I<br>
can find that mythfrontend responds to is Ctrl-Alt-d, which minimises<br>
everything to show a clean desktop. That is very annoying when I want<br>
to be able to work on the windows underneath. So is it possible to<br>
set up a second X screen and run Mythfrontend on that (say<br>
Ctrl-Alt-F8) and keep the desktop visible on the normal X screen<br>
(Ctrl-Alt-F7)? I do want to keep keyboard access to mythfrontend, so<br>
a separate X server is not the answer.<br>
