I'm pretty sure I tried every reasonable combination. It's almost
like the focus and select don't stay in sync. Something like the button
is in focus when a different button is selected... that's the only way
I've gotten it to press.

Seems pretty odd, but I might give it a try.

I'd never used that before (but then again I generally rolled my
own mythtv, kernel, and nvidia drivers). This time, however, I *did* use
it. I think it's two issues.
- nvidia kernel driver doesn't have an alias in modprobe.conf to just
'nvidia'... only 'nvidia-1.0-XXXX'. I added another alias and then X will
load it.
- the nvidia-graphics-switch doesn't seem to do its library magic
correctly. Basically even after running it and loading the correct nvidia
kernel module, the X server barfed due to mismated library versions. I
did try 'ldconfig' in between but no luck there either. My workaround was
to uninstall the unused driver version.

So it's the newest QT updates from Fedora that broke the buttons,
or is it a MythTV bug that was just exposed by the latest updates?
