Comment 3 for bug 150480

Björn,

Well actually neither u-m-f or mythbuntu *require* mouse and keyboard once
you are configured. Mythbuntu only needs it if mythfrontend happens to
quit.

u-m-f should have no need whatsoever for it. If mythfrontend crashes, it
restarts the gdm session automagically.

Perhaps instead the problem here is that gdm needs to wait for LIRC to
finish starting up before it's allowed to proceed, because there will always
be race conditions like this.
