[mythtv-users] Configuring MythTV users

Just wondering what people typically do when installing from source on 
their boxes. I've installed svn trunk on my desktop pc, which is also 
used for general development/mail etc. Do people setup a separate mythtv 
user in that instance?

I've setup a separate "mythtv" user and configured the various 
directories (recording, videos, music etc) to live under 
/home/mythtv/share, plus any mythtv related cron jobs run under that 
user. It seems tidier to me that way.
