Thanks for your input everyone.

Just a few more pieces of info

The computer is a Dell Precision 380 with 4GB of RAM.  At the moment we are
not yet running any sort of network with other boxes and this one.  That
is, this is pretty much a stand alone box dedicated to Rivendell.

Perhaps there is a hardware issue, but if that's the case it's a new
problem.  That is, until recently (I'd say a month or so now), we never saw
this issue with the text and buttons disappearing on RDAirplay.

Also, to me it seems that if there were a hardware issue, we'd see it
manifest itself at other times.  We've only seen it on RDAirplay, never, as
far as I know, with RDCatch, Library or any other Rivendell modules.

Thanks!
Rene
