I have to correct my earlier statement. MythGallery works on Raspberry 
Pi. I configured and built using --enable-mythgallery. It builds fine. 
Then I installed it, it shows up under the menu "Old Gallery". After I 
added a directory using setup, I could see picture thumbnails, select 
pictures and run a slide show.

The above patch has no effect. Even with the patch, mythgallery is 
enabled and works fine.
Maybe the "disable gallery" should have been "disable mythgallery". 
However it seems unnecessary, as long as the correct options were used 
on the preceding build of MythTV.

Here is the config output after enabling mythgallery, both with and 
without the patch.

Configuration settings:

         qmake          /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmake
