I got the exit codes mixed up in the original report. I used a modified
version of last one to print out the exit codes. Unfortunately it does
not report full programme names, both the wrapper and mythfrontend.real
show as mythfrontend!

** Summary changed:

- mythfrontend exits with status zero before gui appears
+ mythfrontend exits with status one before gui appears

** Description changed:

  Using mythbuntu 16.04 with mythfrontend configured to run via
  .config/autostart when the gui desktop boots. Randomly mythfrontend
- exits before any gui is displayed. Because the exit status is zero the
- mythfrontend wrapper script does not try to restart. This appears to be
- some kind of race condition in the start up environment. Putting a 60
- second sleep in the wrapper script appears to cure it.
+ exits before any gui is displayed. Because the shell exit status is one
+ (process exit 0x100) the mythfrontend wrapper script does not try to
+ restart. This appears to be some kind of race condition in the start up
+ environment. Putting a 60 second sleep in the wrapper script appears to
+ cure it.
  
  It appears that mythfrontend main.cpp is getting as far as launching the
  housekeeper but is exiting before the gui is drawn by the message loop.
  
  Has anyone else seen this?
