Found it. Here is the message rather than try to point you to the original.

For anyone interested, I created a theme image for Hulu that goes along 
with the Blootube-wide theme.
Feel free to download it: http://gregms.com/images/hulu-mythtv.png
 
Used the following to add it into the menu:
  <button>
     <type>HULU</type>
     <text>Hulu</text>
     <action>EXEC /usr/bin/huludesktop</action>
   </button>
 
Use the following in the blootube-wide/theme.xml file:
<buttondef name="HULU">
   <image>text-blank.png</image>
   <watermarkimage>watermark/hulu.png</watermarkimage>
   <offset>0,0</offset>
</buttondef>
 
This is all on MythTV .21. I'm unsure what would change on .22.
Haven't had a chance to really test everything out yet. Though I have 
noticed it will freeze part of the time on exiting. I'm unsure why that is.
