Could well be why it didn't work. :) I was trying "mythfrontend - 
OUseOpenGLPainter=0".

I also tried setting Paint Engine to Qt via the UI, though, and that  
didn't work either.

(I was going down the list of previously suggested workarounds
for related problems, rather than sanity checking that they still
made sense in the current version.)
