Hmm...  In my normal user account my .mythtv directory exists and is 
empty... The one in ~root has a channels subdir but it is also empty.... is 
there a way I can force an update?  Do I just re-run mythfilldatabase or 
will that create duplicate entries etc?  I am going out of town for a month 
soon and I want my wife to be able to use the system so I could do without 
the icons for a bit if it might muck things up to update it.
