 Paul,

Thanks for the response.  What you mentioned is exactly what I think the cause of my upgrade problems was.

 
I eventually broke down and did another reinstall and found that the mythvodka plugin was still being loaded.  Deleted it, and so far things are working again

Nothing in 0.22 should be using QT3. Check you haven't still got some
old plugins left around from 0.21 that have not been updated to 0.22
versions. MythPhone is a common one since it has been removed from 0.22.
MythFlix could be another depending on which branch you are using.  You
will usually find the plugins in /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins/ or 
/usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/.
