Comment(by danielk):

 (In [23051]) Refs #7603. Fixes segfault in mythcontext popup handling.

 This drops the old UI popups and uses only MythUI pop-ups. The MythUI pop-
 ups do not try to launch from the calling thread anymore but instead an
 event is dispatched to an object whose event handler is in the MythUI
 thread. This simplifies the code and avoids all the problems, including
 segfaults, which occur when you try to use MythUI outside the MythUI
 thread.

 Note: When MythProto is used within the MythUI thread, the popup will not
 be shown when it should be. This is pre-existing behaviour and is inherent
 in the design of MythUI. But a previous commit causes such usage of
 MythProto to print a warning message:
 SendReceiveStringList(...) called from UI thread
 These should be fixed, as the have potential to make the frontend appear
 to be hung for minutes at a time.
