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

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!
