[mythtvnz] Auto start with Gentoo

[Duncan Kennington]

I also use GDM - set to log user mythtv in automatically.  Insted of running 
mythfrontend automatically, if you are using SVN or 0.19 (if that's out yet), 
use mythwelcome - it stays up independent of the frontend, allows you to start 
the frontend if it crashes, and uses the existing LIRC bindings for Myth.

A good wee programme, if you are using a recent enough version of Myth.
