I'm not at my box(es) right now, but I must say, when I read this thread
yesterday I thought to myself, that sounds like a strange problem.  Then I
updated my boxes to latest cvs (prior updates couldn't be more than 3 or
4 days prior).  All my machines are running latest gentoo.  My desktop
(hereafter known as IndyHome) showed the OSDs fine.  But my xbox does not.
Relevant lines from mysql show on primary line that looks to be the
culprit..  ThemeQt is set to 1 on IndyHome and it is not set on xbox1.  I'm
suspicious of that.  I'm not at home to test, however.  

| OSDTheme                  | blueosd    | IndyHome |
| Theme                     | blue       | IndyHome |
| RandomTheme               | 0          | IndyHome |
| ThemeQt                   | 1          | IndyHome |
| OSDThemeFontSizeType      | default    | IndyHome |
| ThemeFontSizeType         | default    | IndyHome |
| OSDTheme                  | blueosd    | xbox1    |
| Theme                     | blue       | xbox1    |
| RandomTheme               | 0          | xbox1    |
| ThemeFontSizeType         | default    | xbox1    |
| OSDThemeFontSizeType      | default    | xbox1    |

(Interestingly, ThemeQt doesn't appear anywhere in the cvs tree...  Hmm..
maybe that's not the problem after all..  That row might be a holdover
from sometime in the past.. *shrug*)
