Get redhat to distribute a fixed version of Qt (or something more recent), and 
it won't be necessary to remove those lines.  I don't believe it's possible 
to change anything in mythtv to work around this.

If you do a 'make distclean', then a normal make/make install, do all the 
images get installed?

It could, but then I'd be encouraging broken RPMs, and I don't really want to 
do that =)
