In the FWIW category, MythTV on one of my mom's shields used to always
hang with the splash icon displayed.  After pressing select and
waiting several seconds, it would crash/exit back to the home screen.
MythTV would then launch normally after that.  I could never figure
out why it did that.  Since Mark's latest, splash, screen changes,
MythTV always launches correctly on that shield.
