If by "(partially) incorrect," you mean that /all/ the information I 
gave is correct, but that information does not apply if not using the 
specific version I quoted, I completely agree.

Current SVN, see around line 2227-2239 and lines 2944-2946 
(case-insentitive search for OpenGL)
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp
    - Definitely has a setting

0.18.1, no mention of OpenGL anywhere in the settings...
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/tags/release-0-18-1/mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp
    - Definitely does /not/ have a setting

0.18-fixes, see around lines 2095-2106 and 2151-2154 and note that the 
last commit was the commit of your patch
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-18-fixes/mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp
    - Definitely has a setting

And, the changesets that included the patch:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/6509
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/6526

So, it seems it's in the branch post 0.18.1--in 0.18-fixes, which might 
one day become 0.18.2.  However, I assumed when the OP said he was using 
0.18.1, he meant he was using 0.18.1...

We have waaaaaayyyyyyyy too many versions of "0.18.1" out there...
