I did that with the following result:-

norman at gruber:~$ mythtv-setup -O ThemePainter=qtpainter
 * Stopping MythTV server: mythbackend
[ OK ] 
xterm: cannot load font
-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-*-*-13-120-75-75-C-120-ISO10646-1
xterm: cannot load font
-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-*-*-13-120-75-75-C-120-ISO10646-1
 * Restarting MythTV server: mythbackend
No /usr/bin/mythbackend found running; none killed.

[ OK ]

This gave the same result as above.
