Thanks Tom for pointing me at the database - it's the only thing I 
didn't grep for "abstractosd" (I should have known).

Anyway... the mystery still exists:
    1) how did "abstractosd" get in the database in the first place 
(probably from an earlier test-run).
    2) why didn't it change when I changed themes (several times in my 
testing and poking about).
    3) why doesn't the string Titivillus-OSD,   defaultosd,  or blueosd 
appear in any themes/*.xml file?

I would imagine that when you change a theme, the theme xml file (or 
files get parsed) and the OSDTheme
for the particular theme gets put into the settings table in the DB.

Hence, I would assume I would find something like  
<OSDTheme>Titivillus-OSD</OSDTheme>  in the
Titivillus/theme.xml or Titivillus/ui.xml or the like.

For example,  how does "blueosd" end up in the database when you change 
the theme to the "blue" theme?

I'm still quite a newbie here so I'm relying on those of you on the 
myth-dev list with deep understanding of how all the
glue works...to tell me if indeed, I've stumbled onto a bug or not.

But...at least for now, I can use Titivillus theme and Titivillus-OSD 
osd.xml ....so in a sense, I'm a happy camper.

Thanks for the help.
