having an issue running snes9x-gtk from within mythtv. when i launch it, i get a black screen and the rom doesn't start. however, if i close mythtv and run it full screen, there's no problem. figuring that myth is being a punk, i wrote a script that kills the frontend, starts snes9x, waits for snes9x to end, and restarts the frontend. this, for some reason, doesn't work.

btw, i'm using the gtk port because plain ol' snes9x doesn't support fullscreen (despite the man page indicating that the option exists).

i've also tried the script on the myth gaming wiki - no dice.

suggestions?
