Heh, cool - the UI part of this is what mythui is partially supposed to 
accomplish.  I had intended to convert over the OSD code so it uses the same 
base classes/etc for drawing as everything else will.  This way, anything can 
draw on the OSD (or anywhere else) without being written specially for it, 
etc.  I'm not really sure if there's benefit to a separate worker function 
that way, as mythui already (mostly, at least) has the functionality of a 
screen separated from the actual drawing.  Whaddya think?
