#4735 closed defect (fixed)

mythfrontend needs to make sure that container pointer is valid

Description

mythfrontend often gets the background object pointer from calling: theme->GetSet?("background");

This can return null. But probably rarely does. It is still good practice to check for null before dereferencing the pointer.
