Seems benign.  The mythtv backend log is the same error about the QT
db connection.

Yeah,

I intentionally didn't use the -qt flag and I and pretty sure I've
seem others with the -kde.

I stopped mysql, deleted /var/lib/mysql/* and ran the init_db program
again to reset everything to clean.  Afterward, I set the root pass
with
"mysqladmin -u root password newpass" and ran "mysql -u root -pnewpass
< /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql"  Which created the mythconverg db
with no tables (I think that was it's intent).  mythsetup still gave
the same error.

I hope it doesn't come to that.  I hope the above helps the
troubleshooting process.  Thanks to all for helping me figure this
out.
