...when I want to tweak something, I usually just log in as mythtv.

I never touch root and if I need to do anything I do it as mythtv.
This includes actually doing things (frontend, backend, jobs) or
altering configuration.

Once I build a box I generally don't touch root again.

Either approach should work...
