I had to do this last night.  I THINK it's:
mythfrontend -O ThemePainter=qt

That's just an override I think, it doesn't change the config in the
database.  You can change that once you're in...

Or, you could also just update the row in MySQL (I use phpMyAdmin
instead of the command line).  The settings table has a row with the
value column = 'ThemePainter'.  So if you're remote, you could just
change that to 'qt', then restart the frontend (just escape out all the
way).

By the way, I'm a SERIOUS AMATEUR here, so be careful editing your SQL
data directly.  And, if anyone notices that this messes anything up,
please let me know.
