I had this problem playing around with the video driver.
I had the theme background but no text.
The problem was twofold, but stemmed from me playing around with the
video driver - I had inadvertently broken OpenGL - but had configured
MythTV to use the OpenGL renderer for the user interface.
Repairing the video driver - GLX in particular, sorted it out immediately.
