[mythtv] MePo-wide 0.3.5 released

It actually took me most of the evening to find where the "playback"
section was...  It is NOT obvious how it all works.  especially the
differences between context -1, 0, and 1.  After poking around
playbackbox.cpp a bit and looking at other themes I finally figured it
out.

I made the following changes to address what I think are the 2 biggest
wastes of space.  It leaves the time of recording in the watch
recording screen, but removes the file size.  it swaps the recording
time for filesize in the delete recordings screen (this is how
MythCenter-wide handles it and made sense to me).  It also changes the
column padding.

It also moves the subtitle onto the same line (and in the same font)
as the title in the lower description pane.  This gives an extra line
of episode description.

Now I truly love the theme.  These patches apply for me with "patch
<MePo.patch" (note there is no "-p0" like other mythtv patches
require) from within the MePo-wide directory.  Make sure to fix any
extra newlines caused by email formatting.

David.
