Did you install mythtv from rpm or from the source (tarball/cvs)?  If
you installed from a tarball or latest cvs then chances are that myth
is looking in /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes for theme info and it's
not finding anything.  Try making a symlink from /usr/share/mythtv to
/usr/local/share/mythtv (or just copying all the files over to
/usr/local/share/mythtv) and see if that doesn't fix things up for
you.
