There's the mythuitest app that's in the source tree (under programs) that 
compiles against libmythui and uses the opengl (or qt if libmyth is modifed 
slightly) engine.  There's also the mythui top level module in CVS that's the 
older demo app + libmythui all in one.

Converting the entire frontend over will be a lot of work.  I really want to 
start doing it sometime, probably after the next release.  Help would be 
appreciated. =)
