Aaah, is that what that is?

For some reason I haven't looked into fully, I see NOTHING on this
screen.  I run mythfrontend from an xterm window, some blue screen
with nothing on it pops up behind the term window, and I have to click
on the "desktop" and hit enter to continue.  I've been meaning to look
into it but haven't gotten around to it.
