Ask far as I can see the crash itself is a duplicate of bug #1016173.
The fact that the SIGSEGV is caught by the app and converted to an exit
code 1 is separate issue involving both the mythfrontend(.real)
programme and the mythfrontend wrapper script. As things are at the
moment users will be left with a desktop showing and no evidence in the
logs of what happened. The crash in QFactoryLoader::Instance appears to
be related to a qt image loader plugin being unloaded whilst a thread is
still using it. It occurs at startup because all the pool threads are
being used to load theme images.

I intend to raise an upstream bug for this and a new bug here for the
wrapper problem/feature. I will close this bug as a duplicate.

Title:
  mythfrontend exits with status one before gui appears

Status in Mythbuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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 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?

  Roger
