New description:

 New MythUI settings has a few bugs. Those marked ### are serious in that
 they prevent essential functionality (show stoppers). I hope to fix at
 least all the show stoppers for version 29. If anybody sees other bugs
 please log them here. (F) indicates items for which I have a fix ready for
 commit.

 == Setup ==
 - Master backend Host name can be updated. Should be by check box only.
 (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - ### Cannot delete capture card, after confrming delete it is still
 there. (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea]) Also does not have menu, only D option.
 (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - After adding capture card name the list is not refreshed.
 - Cannot create recording profile group. It allows you to key a name but
 never saves it. (Old system is the same). Change to disallow adding or
 deleting of recording profile groups. (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - ### Cannot delete recording profile. It does not respond to D, or to M
 for menu (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - After deleting recording profile the list is not refreshed. (Fixed
 [changeset:420a1ea])
 - After adding new video source name, the list is not refreshed.
 - Video source delete works from menu. D does nothing. (Fixed
 [changeset:420a1ea])
 - ### Create new storage group does not prompt for the group name and
 creates it with a garbage name. (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - Storage Directory Delete works from D, no menu.

 == Frontend ==
 - Initial frontend with no backend running and no config.xml invokes old
 DB setup page.
 - New startup screen invokes old DB setup page.
 - playback group list not refreshed after update (Already Fixed)
 - playback group changing name creates a new entry. (Already Fixed)
 - ### Cannot delete playback group. It does not respond to D, no menu
 (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - Channel group: when adding a new one does not show in the list. (Fixed
 [changeset:420a1ea])
 - Channel group does not save channels unlss you first add channel group,
 exit and go back in. (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - Channel group deletion is weird. (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea])
 - New playback group not saved unless you change something in it (Fixed
 [changeset:420a1ea])

 == General ==
 - Some pages prompt to save before exit even if there is no change. Others
 do not prompt and save anyway. Consistency needed.
 - Delete is inconsistent. Sometimes it uses Menu Delete and sometimes it
 uses Delete button. (Fixed [changeset:420a1ea]), except for cases
 specifically noted above.
 - When adding a new entry, eg storage group, it should preferably go in
 and edit that entry immediately instead of just leaving you in the list.
 - Escape handling is not intuitive, I think it should go back 1 level not
 exit completely.
 - Maybe there should be a Finish button that will finish and save so as to
 avoid always prompting for "do you want to save" on exit.
