Comment (by aaron <memoryguy@…>):

 Replying to [comment:6 beirdo]:
 > All of the potential memory loss vectors seem to be related to the Qt
 painter.  Is there any reason you'd be using Qt rather than OpenGL?

 I'd love to do that, but when I enable OpenGL (or rather, when I don't
 override it) my X server crashes (sigsegv, if I recall correctly from the
 X logfile) pretty much as soon as I start mythfrontend (or mythwelcome).
 It used to work, but that was a long time ago and there were often drawing
 artifacts and/or very slow performance relative to the Qt painter. Often
 times it would seem fine, until I had watched a recording or two, then it
 would start taking a really long time to render the menus and transition
 the screens.

 I noticed that there was recently a move to require a newer version of Qt
 than I have installed. When I have a bit of time I can try to upgrade Qt
 and see if that helps anything.
