I can find no code in mythgallery that changed in that time period
significantly if at all.  If you want to track this down, since you
can reproduce it, and I can not, your best bet is to build from git,
and git bisect to find what commit exactly changed it.

My bet is on some funky config issue.

I have seen nothing of the kind on my setup going to my TV.

This sounds like a funky X config issue to me.  I dunno.

Anyways, I think you're going to have to do the legwork on this as I
can not reproduce it at all. Sorry.
