The only idea for menus not showing up is to try this:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 and/or export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
Please report back if either of those items helped, or if perhaps, you
found another solution to this problem.

MythTV Frontend does not work with Nvidia

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete
Bug description:
After an upgrade to Jaunty, mythfrontend fails to start on a combo BE/FE
machine. The symptoms sound like Bug #341898 in that the mythtv background
comes up without the menu appearing. Two differences though. First, I am using
the restricted Nvidia drivers. The open drivers that I am aware of are not
options because I need the S-video TV-Out capability. And I am limited to the
173 restricted drivers because my card an FX5200. The newer drivers do not
support FX5200s. And second, the frontend does not respond to the keyboard or
the remote. Instead of the fonts missing from the menu, it is as if the menu
never comes up.

No errors appear in the mythbackend.log. Indeed, the backend seems stable and
records according to schedule. The system is reachable via http and ssh.
No errors appear in the mythfrontend.log using the `-v most` flag
The syslog shows these errors upon restarting gdm:

What else is needed to help diagnose? I have attached a mythfrontend.log.
