Comment(by nigel):

 It looks like the behaviour of this on OS X is very different to Linux.

 On OS X, it uses the vtable of the sub-classes, so gContext->Blah() calls
 MythContextGUI::Blah()

 On Linux, it seems to always have the base class's type. There is probaly
 some C++ qualifier to get around this, but it is beyond my current
 understanding of the language - I barely understand inheritance, let alone
 inheritance with pure-virtual methods :-)

 I have a patch that eliminates all cross-dependencies on OS X, but to get
 it working on Linux I might have to change this all again :-(
