 The downloaded binary for Mythfrontend on OSX had been working fine, then
 suddenly stopped launching. Checking the console log, the only clue was

 12/9/09 17:52:12  [0x0-0x103002f].org.osx-bundler.MythFrontend[42147]
 2009-12-09 17:52:12.788 Could not find theme: metallurgy

 Eventually I figured out that the app was unable to find itself once I'd
 stored it with the other video applications, which had a path as follows:

 /Applications/•Pictures/Video

 (In case the above gets mangled, there's a dot in front of "Pictures,"
 which I believe is Unicode character 2022, "Bullet".) I strongly suspect
 that the mechanism Mythfrontend is using to access the file system is not
 Unicode compliant. I don't know if this is also true of the Linux
 implementation.
