Hi John,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm using qt as the theme painter. I've
added that -O call into my startup script & restarted. So far so good,
but it might be a day or more before I know if it's fixed anything.

That other discussion seems to be a bit more full on than mine. I can
restart mythfrontend and the menus come back.

Anyway. I'll post back once I know if it's stable or not.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Ben
