[mythtvnz] How do I stop Mythfrontend from Autostart

Hi
A couple of things.. I have installed NoMachine server on Mythbuntu so I can
remotedesktop to my Mythbox (its better than VNC) and it is running but when
I log on remotely as my default user (created using Myth wizard) it just
brings up a blank screen... Can anyone suggest how to overcome this? I
figured it may be to do with the autostart of the frontend/scaling of the
images..
Leads to me thinking maybe I should create another user (eg. 'admin') that
has autostart of the frontend disabled so I can use that account remotely
for admin tasks...
Anyone?
Cheers!
Ashley
