pi at rpi-mythtv:~ $ /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m CEA
Group CEA has 9 modes:
            mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
            mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
            mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
            mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
            mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
            mode 6: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
            mode 7: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
   (prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
            mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

so in /boot/config.txt i have:
	hdmi_group=1
	hdmi_mode=16

but to get the x desktop fully on screen, i need:

	overscan_left=145
	overscan_right=145
	overscan_top=60
	overscan_bottom=60

peter's gui(under x) fits completely onscreen, but your gui is partly offscreen.

> Next make sure that the *Setup -> Appearance* settings for *GUI width
> (pixels)* and *GUI height (pixels)* match these values.

setting these values:
	GuiHeight                         | 1080
	GuiWidth                          | 1920
puts  peter's x gui grossly offscreen (and the desktop menubar appears above 
it)-: your gui is actually unchanged, 1280x720 (theme size) is grossly 
undersized, probably b/c i need to set
	VertScanPercentage                | -5
	HorizScanPercentage               | -10
to get the video entirely onscreen (using your executable, peter's executable's 
video i cannot shift onscreen)
so i'm going back to 0x0 for GuiHeight/width.

  attached is log from your exec, hope you can use it:-)

thanx
