Instead of running MythWelcome, I think it would be really cool to have a MythTV plasmoid on my KDE-4.2 desktop that fills the same role. I'm surprised no one has written one yet. There is a MythTV dataengine in SVN, but nothing's been done with it AFAICT.
The Plasmoid would show basically what you see in MythWelcome: Current activity ("recording Program X", "gathering EPG data", "flagging commercials", "idle", etc), and the next scheduled recording. In addition, I might show the date of the last successful mythfilldatabase. Finally, there would be buttons to start/override the idle shutdown timer, launch the frontend, start/stop the backend, and run mythfilldatabase.
On a mostly-unrelated note, I need to figure out why mythfilldatabase is not running automatically. I noticed this morning that it hadn't run in 12 days! It's supposed to run daily.
