[mythtv-users] Why do I need to launch frontend with "-O ThemePainter=OpenGL"? And what relation does this have with vnc?

I have a similar setup on my BE/FE closeted system with no keyboard or
mouse. I launch x11vnc with the -noxdamage option to allow for
refreshes to occur over VNC connections while using the "opengl"
painter. From what I have read in this thread by launching with the
command line option switch you were unintentionally switching to the
qt painter and resulted in an [unintentional] fix to your problem.
