That's the well-known issue that the Please Wait... screen gets stuck 
because of a race condition.  The patch I gave him just changes the 
timing a bit.  And, FWIW, the issue has nothing to do with the 
theme--it's the UI drawing code (though it's possible that timing can 
change depending on the complexity of drawing/refreshing the theme).

Rajesh, out of curiosity, what's your CPU usage like when idling on the 
Watch Recordings page with an unpatched and patched MythTV?  (Just an 
approximation of the range from watching top for about 30 seconds, 
ideally through an SSH connection from another machine so you don't have 
a terminal on screen affecting the drawing.)

Thanks,
Mike
