I'm thinking that the Fedora init script should be fixed to set a proper
HOME environment variable, i.e.:
HOME=$MYTHTV_HOME
export HOME
Or, assuming daemon supports it, through some command-line option, at least.
After all, a /lot/ of pieces of Myth are built around the concept of
"user's home directory = $HOME".
What benefit does MYTHTV_HOME provide, anyway?
