[mythtv] Mythfrontend intermittently missing menu on first launch

[Alex Rasmussen]

I have just installed two new ASRock Vision 3D 137B (specs here:
http://www.asrock.com/nettop/overview.us.asp?Model=Vision%203D%20Series#Specifications )
 frontends for my system using openSUSE 12.1 x64. When booting a unit, it
will intermittently be missing the menu (only the theme backdrop) is shown.
Restarting the unit enough times will eventually produce the menu.

I have two other (Zotac) units running openSUSE 11.4 against the same
backend without problems.

I need the 3.1 kernel in order for my remote control to wake up the system,
but I tried installing 11.4 x64 to see if openSUSE 12.1 is the problem, but
the problem persists on 11.4. I have also tried both Gnome and Xfce as the
window manager, with no change. As a last (desperate) attempt I have tried
compiling and running the 3.2 kernel, but with no change.

The following is all I see in the frontend log:
