It's the MythMetadataResults window in base.xml. I figured this out by starting
mythfrontend as:

  mythfrontend --verbose gui

The log messages show which windows are being loaded.

I'm not sure how to add the year to the MythAeon theme. The Mythbuntu theme does
include the year, though, so maybe you can get some ideas from that one.
