Description
mythfrontend crashing when initializing to watch a recording in Xvnc
watch recordings screen is OK (shows a list of recordings and *does run a preview* in small preview area)
BUT when you select a recording to watch, mythfrontend crashes at: VideoOutputXv::CreateBuffers? (this=0x82b1b60, subtype=XShm) at videoout_xv.cpp:1711 (see attached gdb.txt in case i got this wrong)

mman, can you try the patch for me? It should bail out gracefully without crashing.
I would like to diagnose the problem further but I need a couple logs from after you install a MythTV compiled with 3685-v1.patch applied.
"mythfrontend -v playback" when playing the same recording.
"NO_SHM="true" mythfrontend -v playback" when playing the same recording.

hi Daniel, i've attached the two log files (and then i forgot to write this reply until now). thanks for looking into this! (i've tried to see if i could understand the video output programming, but even after an hour, i still have no clue how these video buffers and stuff works)

(In [13799]) Fixes #3685. Fixes segfault when VideoOutputXv::CreateShmImages? fails for the XShm playback method.
mythfrontend video playback still doesn't work under Xvnc, but this allows MythTV to recover more gracefully.

I do not know why XCreateImage is also failing, this hasn't changed in any significant way since 0.19. It also deserves it's own ticket..
