[mythtv-users] Menu GUI offset working?

[jani]

I got the GUI offset to work under KDE by ticking the display
mythfrontend in a window box. When it's full-screen it doesn't want to
move.  Of course the window's title bar at the top gets in the way
(but with the right amount of overscan you can get around that too) as
it doesn't seem to accept negative values for the vertical offset.
