Thanks Mike, Steve.  I had added the timezone stuff earlier and the test 
output matched that expected.

I've just been trying an older version of xorg.conf because my recent 
two-screen version has restarted X more often than seemed necessary, but 
things are much the same.  A log from mythtvsetup -v most looks 
unremarkable but ends like this:

and suggests to me that the OpenGL painter might be at fault.  I 
remember that I tried nvidia 304.64 from ATrpms but reverted to 304.51; 
  304.64 from rpmfusion is what I have now.  Can I deactivate OpenGL 
without being able to run mythtvsetup?  And is that likely to affect the 
DB upgrade?
