I have asked before, and never really gotten a good answer: how do you
disable this?  I was told that this only appears if you are running
xinerama, and I am definitely not.  The only reason why this is an
issue is that the OSD for info, ff, and menu (while watching
recordings) do not use all the screen real estate when watching 4:3
content and appear distorted.  Not a big deal, but would like to
resolve this.  This happened for me after either upgrading from
FC5->FC7 or to the latest release of myth (forget which triggered it).
