OK - I'll give it a go and report back - things have been conspiring against MythBox tinkering of late :o(

Any idea why this issue only affects MythBrowser running in a frontend spawned by MythWelcome? I have no problems with MythBrowser when the frontend is started "conventionally". How does MythWelcome invoke the frontend - anything unusual?

Cheers,

Mike
