I got icons to work in the frontend.  I removed the symlink I created 
(/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels) and recreated the directory 
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels.  I then created the directory 
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/home/<myuser>/.mythtv with a simlink 
(channels) in it to /home/<myuser>/.mythtv/channels.

/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/home/<myuser>/.mythtv/channels -> 
/home/<myuser>/.mythtv/channels

This seems to work.
