[mythtv-users] Setup menus too big for screen (PVR-350)

[David Erickson]

Brad,

I had a similar problem... I've heard people suggest to use ratpoison as a
window manager to avoid this problem.  My solution was to not use a window
manager at all.  I just put mythfrontend in my .xinitrc and do an xinit. 
I also played with the offsets a tiny bit. But the difference was under
KDE no matter what i did it didn't seem to change anything.  Once I just
ran it naked under X, I was able to adjust it and make it look perfect. 
If you need anymore details i'll have to wait till I get home tonight
after work.
