I'm not sure what to do now.  I have removed everything about myth that 
I can find via yum.  Then I reinstalled, including removing  libmyth* 
and remove mythtv-theme*

Then I reinstalled mythtv-suite and mythtv-theme*

I then tried to run mythtvfrontend -O Themes=default

Here is what I get for output.
