It fails repeatedly for me which means that your setup and mine are 
sufficiently different that you don't see the problems I do. Perhaps 
others will encounter these problems if their setup is sufficiently 
similar to mine.

I am running an Atom based Nvidia setup using a Zotac ID11 as a frontend.

Well I get the various animations that I imagine are the reason for 
making the changes in 25.25. A pity that the standard theme for 
Mythbuntu does not cover the full spectrum of installations anymore. 
This theme should be forked so that people having problems can use a 
version without the fancy animations but still very functional.

How do I revert the theme to 25.24?
