At the time it seemed like a very silly mistake to be blaming myth for
that problem. However, after seeing this thread on the ivtv-devel list
( <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/24487?page=last" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/24487?page=last</a> ) it
looks like I might be back here again soon :-) as they point the finger
at myth's use of overlays.<br>
