Ok I've tested this just now.

I assume I just needed set the parameter "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb" on the 
command line:
alias mfe_xcb="QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCE888=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MYTHTVDIR/lib QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$MYTHTVDIR/plugins 
PYTHONPATH=$MYTHTVDIR/lib/python2.7/site-packages $MYTHTVDIR/bin/mythfrontend"


The black-screen on skipping forward/backward during playback and editing 
mode is gone.

However the skipping is a bit dodgey in cutlist editing mode.  It looks like 
the 2nd skip keypress is only skipping a single frame(?) regardless of the 
time setting, then the 3rd keypress moves it - maybe properly.

In cutlist editing, there is still some of the theme background showing.

In playback there is also some of the theme background showing.
