[mythtv] CVS program guide mythfrontend problem

[Brent Hills]

Further to my original email the error message below may be related to
the problem.  It appears while in the debugger but does not result in
the process crashing.  The timing of the message is similar though.  The
error message is:

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode:  19
  Resource id:  0x81d1f4b

Once again any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brent
