FWIW I'm seeing the same on Mythbuntu. I don't have that MyhtGallery  
issue though, just the unresponsiveness and the empty theme  
background. Then after a short minute, a (remote) key press brings the  
menu up and everything works, like you put it, as if nothing had  
happened.

I had starting up MythTV with the MythGallery plugin in the very  
beginning of my MythTV endavours, because I had enabled auto-starting  
of the gallery for certain external drives. For some reason this was  
also triggered by empty drives, so I disabled those. You might be  
seeing a mixture of those two issues.
