screensaver is enabled for mythtv user after upgrade to hardy

Mythbuntu, or just Ubuntu + mythtv? By mythtv user, are you meaning ~mythtv, or your user. Using ubuntu-mythtv-frontend or no?

As for ubuntu-mythtv-frontend: for my hacked up version, the same thing
happened.

If you're not using ubuntu-mythtv-frontend: ignore me.

ubuntu-mythtv-frontend is causing waYYYYYYyyy too much confusion. We need it away for hardy. Sorry for anyone using it, but I see nothing but breakage these days.

yes -- ubuntu-mythtv-frontend

I just purged the package -- we'll see what happens.. I'll have to setup a new user account for mythtv -- I just want mythtv to start automatically since this is a headless system attached to a TV and controlled with a remote -- which I would assume is the typical use of MythTV.

This bug was fixed in the package mythtv - 0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3

---------------
mythtv (0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Michael Haas ]
  * mythtv-common: add myth-reboot.sh, myth-halt.sh, myth-suspend.sh and
    myth-hibernate.sh into /usr/share/mythtv/. These scripts use HAL to shutdown/reboot/etc
  * Add 16_hal_shutdown.dpatch to adjust some defaults in mythtv to use the
    new scripts. (LP: #148281)

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Don't spawn gnome-screensaver in ubuntu-mythtv-frontend.
    It doesn't work. ubuntu-mythtv-frontend is going away in Intrepid
    but not this late in the game here. (LP: #216431)
  * Don't depend on a screensaver for u-m-f, since it's broke.
  * Prevent warnings on first boot about updating the mythconverg DB, by providing
    the updated mythconverg db.
