Another side effect that I can't figure out why it is even an issue:
Ever since going to the latest svn, the Retro theme no longer has any
text in the menus. It just shows the graphic that corresponds with
each menu item. My other themes work fine and so does OSD. The font
used is Trebuchet MS, which is used by other themes that work. It
just makes no sense :(
