Comment (by Mike Bibbings):

 Attached is a patch to resolve the issue with gksu being removed.
 This has been tested on current master (31pre) and can be applied to
 fixes/30 and 0.29 if still supported.
 It is a total rework.

 Changes - In Summary

 uses sudo with custom function to get password and execute mythtv-backend
 stop/start, instead of now obolete and removed gksu,kdesu etc.

 fixes unable to connect to database on first run of mythtv-setup or
 mythfrontend (link /etc/mythtv/config.xml to ~/.mythtv/config.xml)

 removed broken find session code and auto logout code.

 all dialogs to use zenity (cross platform), the overhead on KDE is minimal
 and mythtv installs zenity on Kubuntu anyway.

 suppressed most stderr output - new users could be concerned about some
 output when run in a terminal session

 works when run from menu or in terminal session

 updated to use systemctl for status/stop/start mythtv-backend, daemon-
 reload will also issued before start mythtv-backend,  where mythtv-backend
 has been "failed" by systemd e.g. restarting too many times.
