http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7135 contains some detailed information on the cause (it's a QT bug) and potential work-arounds. Myth plans to fix this via 6137.

This bug was fixed in the package mythtv - 0.23.0+fixes23820-0ubuntu1

---------------
mythtv (0.23.0+fixes23820-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream snapshot (r23820)
  * debian/patches/40_libudev.patch: Use libudev to get the information
    instead of calling udevinfo which has been superseded by udevadm,
    which is not compatiable. (LP: #479509)
  * debian/control: Added Build-Depends of libudev-dev, linux-libc-dev
    to satisfy 40_libudev.patch.
  * debian/mcc-mirobridge/, debian/mythtv-backend.install:
    Install the Mythbuntu-Control-Centre plugin for mirobridge
    if mythtv-backend is installed. (LP: #520731)
  * Refreshed patches.
  * debian/changelog: Fixed old entry that had a non-valid email address
    causing lintian errors.
