#3259: Menus in mythfrontend are blank screens if more than one user session
active in Kubuntu

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv | Version: 0.20
Severity: medium |

= Overview =
If there is more than a single user session logged into Kubuntu then all
of the navigational menus in mythfrontend display as blank (black)
screens.
Curiously you can still use the up and down arrows to move between
options. You can't see anything, but the options can be selected using the
Enter key. If you get lucky you can almost use the application.
The problem occurs for all of the themes that I managed to change to: Myth
Center, Retro, and Myth Center Wide.
All of the "normal" screens display and work fine. Only the navigational
menus are blank.
With only a single user logged into Kubuntu, mythfrontend works as
expected everywhere.
= Reason it's a problem =
I am using MythTV on our Linux desktop machine which always has someone
other than mythtv logged in. I'm also using the XBox Media Center (XBMC)
MythTV frontend for viewing and it's often faster to use the native Linux
frontend on our desktop to specify recordings. Having to log out all users
to do that is getting pretty frustrating.
= Environment =
Kubuntu Edgy Eft with an updated Linux kernel (2.6.20.3) so I can use the
latest IVTV drivers for my PVR-150 card.
The problem also occurred with the generic kernel that Edgy Eft ships with
and the 0.7 IVTV drivers (not that they should affect anything).
Standard distro of MythTV 0.20 with K/ubuntu.
