I noticed the same thing.  I compared mythprogfind, which doesn't 
exhibit this problem, to mythfrontend and the difference seems to be the 
Init call at mythfrontend/main.cpp:940. When  commented out, the problem 
goes away. QT-3.3.2 supposedly has a fix for a problem similar to this.  
Not sure why this works yet.

Other than that, FC2, Gnome w/ the stock 2.6.6 kernel is working with my 
PVR350 and pcHDTV cards.
