Well I have moved beyond the problems of Dialog Box issues.  I broke
it down to the fact that qnetwork.h exists both for DirectX and for
QT.  Knowing this - I knew that my earlier workaround in libmyth would
not be functional in libmythtv.

so, in mythcontext.h and .cpp

#if defined(USING_DIRECTX)
#include </opt/qt/3.2/qt-x11-free-3.2.3/include/qnetwork.h>
#endif
#if !defined(USING_DIRECTX)
#include <qtnetwork.h>
#endif

instead of just including qnetwork.h .

This also means - ignore what was said on the dev list about including
windows.h and initguid.h in qnetwork.h for directx.  That will lead to
more trouble than it is worth.

Coming back around, libmyth will compile without a hitch (provided you
have made appropriate changes to mythmediamonitor and libmyth.pro)

Libmythtv now decides to hiccup in a little more unfortunate a place:

$ make
g++ -c -pipe -fdata-sections -Wall -W -O3 -march=pentiumpro
-fomit-frame-pointer `freetype-config --cflags` -D_REENTRANT 
-D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" -DMMX
-D_WIN32 -DUSING_DIRECTX -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT
-I/opt/qt/3.2/qt-x11-free-3.2.3/mkspecs/default -I.
-I/usr/local/include -I../libmyth -I.. -Idvbdev -I../libavcodec
-I/usr/include/directx -I/opt/qt/3.2/qt-x11-free-3.2.3/include -o
vsync.o vsync.cpp
vsync.cpp: In function `int drmWaitVBlank(int, drm_wait_vblank_t*)':
vsync.cpp:211: error: parse error before `)' token
vsync.cpp:211: error: `_IOWR' undeclared (first use this function)
vsync.cpp:211: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for
   each function it appears in.)
make: *** [vsync.o] Error 1

It seems that /usr/include/asm/ioctl.h doesn't exist, which is where
_IOWR is declared I believe.  I will be out of town for the weekend
and unable to work more with this, but still moving forward...
