[mythtv-users] UI widgets broken with MythTV 0.17 & Fedora's qt 3.3.4 RPM

[Andrew Erickson]

I ran a 'yum update'  last night and it broke some buttons in the
interface. I first noticed when I couldn't exit mythfrontend with the
return button... alt-f1 and using the mouse worked. The button enters
the depressed state but never does anything. All of the configuration
screen next buttons are also broken (mythfrontend and mythsetup). The
GUI behaved fine in the other menus including the main navigation
menus. The buttons in the 'Watch Recordings' screens, which seem
similar, work fine when trying to delete and set options.

rpms that were installed:
Mar 14 21:02:59 Updated: qt.i386 1:3.3.4-0.fc3.0
Mar 14 21:03:01 Updated: qt-MySQL.i386 1:3.3.4-0.fc3.0

I built mythfrontend from source and the problem still existed.
Downgrading the rpms solved the problem...

rpm -Uvh --oldpackage qt-3.3.3-8.i386.rpm qt-MySQL-3.3.3-8.i386.rpm
ldconfig

rpms are at:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ 

I'm happy to have a working MythTV again, so I'm not going to
investigate. It seem to be an issue with the Fedora qt RPM, or mythtv
doesn't like qt 3.3.4.
