Well, that's another thing...  The whole mythtv-setup is kind of a lame 
duck right now...  For the most part, it's not mythui'ed, yet (so not 
really themable), and we may not even use a mythui approach for it.  No 
one is really doing much with it, yet, because a decision on how to 
reimplement the functionality hasn't been made.

I suppose I should have said, "Any long term solution should allow the 
themer to be able to design the screen however he/she desires."  But 
more than anything, there are many screens in mythfrontend that have a 
similar "how do I delete <whatever>" for which the approach would have 
to allow themers to do as they choose.
