I am truly losing patience with this one. The MythTV people say this is expected behavior and it is not their fault. When typing
killall -vs 1 mythfrontend.real
It works. Does not work for 10 (USR1), 13 (PIPE), 17, 18, 19. However, the problem was not replicated. Typed:
pkill -1 mythfrontend
And got the same results. I lost my patiences with going through all the numbers and opening it back up, so I did not go any higher than 19 (SIGSTOP). So, from the command line I tried to replicate a signal of SIGQUIT (3) to mythfrontend.real and could not get it to reproduce the problem like it does when FUSA logout option is used.

Also, added "killall mythfrontend.real" to ~/.bash_logout without any change. The signal sent to mythfrontend is causing it to respond in a manner which is canceling a running shutdown (shutdown -c). The problem is replicated by
gnome-session-save --logout
gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog

But, as stated above,
gnome-session-save --force-logout
works as expected. What gives? What scripts or whatever are running which would cause this problem? What is the signal which is being sent from "gnome-session-save --logout" to mythfrontend?
