1) Try changing Painters through an alternate method, such as the main menu:
    Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Appearance -> Paint Engine (OpenGL / QT)

2) Verify which painter is actually being used, if you start 
mythfrontend in a console you will get output similar to this:
    "2006-06-08 10:26:12.590 Using the OpenGL painter"

3) Follow up with more details on your system, specs, drivers used, etc.
