[mythtv-users] Mythtv 0.23 rc1 - Virtual Keyboard Missing & Arclight and Graphite Themes don't work unpatched

[Rajesh Balan]

Hi All,

0.23 rc1 is generally great. but there are two things that are 
particularly bad for me.

1) the virtual on-screen keyboard does not seem to pop-up anymore. I've 
noticed this for quite a while now (i've been using 0.23 svn for a while 
now). The code is still there and is being compiled in. I can use a 
physical keyboard fine, but pressing enter in the text box does not pop 
up the virtual keyboard anymore.

I have verified that this is consistent across all themes and across 
other compilations. I waited to report this until I was sure it was not 
a compilation error. However, the same problem exists even when using 
the debian 0.23 rc1 packages from debian-multimedia.org.

my setup is a debian unstable i386 machine using the 2.6.32 kernel. I 
see no relevant messages in the mythfrontend debug log. What can I do to 
help debug this? I could not seem to find any problems similar to this 
in the mailing list or the bug repository.

2) The Arclight and Graphite themes are unusable without patching. In 
particular, without patching, the themes hang at the watch recordings 
screen (the loading icon never goes away). The solution is to use a 
timer patch suggested by Mike Dean.

my QT version is 4.6.0
