Thanks for looking at it Mike.

I don't want to waste anyone's time with a local issue. I can walk down
a flight of stairs to the garage to do my mythtv-setup work. But I also
want to help fix this problem for others if it is fixable.

The X server is a laptop running 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04. I have no problems
running other X applications with this X client / X server combination.

I don't know which other applications I could test that use qt. I tried
mythfrontend and, sure enough, it has the same problem as mythtv-setup.

I'm happy to drop this if you are; if not what should I do next?

Thanks, Jan
