John,

Are you running with Mythbuntu theme in a 4:3 display (as is shown in 
your screenshots)?  If so, it is expected that text items will not line 
up properly.  That they seemed to be closer to correct before was only 
"lucky happenstance."  :)  When a 16:9 theme is displayed at 16:9, text 
should generally fit properly (assuming no bugs in the theme)--with the 
exception being some "multiline" text areas (since we don't have 
multiline support, yet).

Can you please try the theme with a proper-for-the-theme 16:9 aspect 
display?  You can do this by using the "GUI width/height (pixels)" and 
"GUI X/Y offset" settings to letterbox a 16:9 UI on your 4:3 display, 
and then disable, "Use GUI size for TV playback," to allow full-screen 
video playback.  I was thinking someone had written up a nice page about 
this on the wiki, but I can't find it right now.

Thanks,
Mike
