Mike,

As I answered, once the screensaver activates with mythwelcome or
mythfrontend active, the application will never repaint. I haven't
found anything that can bring it back short of closing and restarting
the app. Any more ideas about this? Has anyone been able to confirm
this? Should I file a bug, or is there something I should try in my
configuration?

Thanks,

Karl
