A side notice.. I tested Retro when it was merged to SVN. I started to 
have strange problems, frontend disappearing etc. My frontend is 
diskless client that uses NFS and does not have swap, it has 512M memory.

I then noticed that Retro theme used ~100M more RAM than MythCenter-wide 
that I normally use. After clean boot -> mythwelcome -> mythfronend I 
have e.g. 165M free memory with mythcenter and only 65M with Retro.

What happened with Retro was that at some point memory was consumed and 
Linux/kernel OOM-killer stepped in and killed frontend.

So I'll be using Retro once I've added another 512M to my machine.. 
unless these resent fixes change the memory requirements.
