[mythtv-users] interface issues

I've installed  0.19 and everything appears to be working. I have 3 small problems which aren't really affecting functionality, but nonetheless are detracting from my enjoyment of using this fine suite of programs.
1.  In the EPG, the preview video appears at the top left corner of the screen.  I'm guessing it is supposed to fill the area which reads 'loading preview video'.  Also in the area which it does occupy, it appears to be squished to be about half of the vertical dimesion resulting in an image out of vertical sync.  If someone could tell me which XML file I need to edit, and which tags, or, even simpler how to just turn off the preview video I'd be eternally grateful.

2.  When mythfrontend loads and it prescales the images, I don't beleive it is doing this correctly.  Some menu images are cut off, paticularly in the manage recordings menu.  I have tried several different themes, and all have the same problem,  I have also tried fiddling with font sizes but this also does not help.  My screen resolution is set to 1280 x 1024.  The GUI fills the screen, but the menu images are quite large.  Is there any way to set by which percentage it scales the theme images?

3. Text in the OSD tends to run outside of the boxes.  This I know can be corrected by editing the XML files for the paricular OSD theme in question.  Any input on which tags to edit would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance 
Paul
