The problem with the 'fix' is that if you enable the OpenGL painter  
in the myth options you'll probably get a crash or (at best) bad/poor  
drawing. Worse is that I believe the current installation defaults  
are for the OpenGL painter (it *is* preferable if it works).

Committing the 'fix' at this point will probably make things actually  
worse.

I'd like to be able to find the time to tackle this however I have  
two other more important tasks right now :

a) Moving house
b) Getting the Plextor USB TV402 to work with Myth on Mac OS X so  
that there's a complete front and backend for 'analog' TV on Mac OS X.

I expect it'll be a couple of weeks before I have the time to look  
into this more.
