[mythtv-users] frontend restart loop after upgrade to 0.25

Hi, have finally undertaken an upgrade to 0.25 from a stable 0.24 +fixes 
on both front end and back end.  The backend box is running OK, and I 
can run mythfrontend fine, view recordings.  Both FE and BE boxes are 
running the same version:

roger at mythfe1:~$ mythfrontend --version
xprop:  unable to open display ''
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
MythTV Version : v0.25.2-25-g0817eb2
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.25
Network Protocol : 72
Library API : 0.25.20120506-1

The front end box started via the gui menu will only presents the 
"choose country and language" screen, which I can save, then on 
completing the database configuration screens will enter a restart loop 
which will only stop if all myth processes are killed. Perhaps my 
backend database isn't listening on the network?  I'm not sure how/where 
I would check or rectify.  Can anyone assist?

Here's the log I start mythfrontend from a terminal, which also will 
only display the country/language/database config windows but doesn't 
enter the restart loop if quit:
