Doh, I did do that, but got fooled by the 'regenerating cache' stuff, and
thought it had restarted the frontend. 
Clearly, it did not.

As for the other comment to fix my 3d rendering, it looks ok:
myth:~$  glxgears -info  
GL_RENDERER   = GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X/AGP/SSE2/3DNOW!
GL_VERSION    = 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.31
GL_VENDOR     = NVIDIA Corporation

And indeed, the fact that it was trying software 3d rendering of those
effects when I ran mythtv-setup over a forwarded ssh connection made it
unbearable.

All better now that I've switched back to Qt.

Thanks,
Marc
