I haven't yet, but others have had to.

The icons are all where they should be, owned my mythtv. Apache is configured as out of the box plus the mythweb config, everything worked except the icons and the Backend Logs link. The backend, frontend, and -setup all run as mythtv.

I forgot to mention in my reply to Kirk that my icons live in /var/lib/mythweb/data/tv_icons and after putting icons there they all show in MythWeb just like they used to in 0.21.

So, there's some kind of disconnect.
