[mythtv-users] mythbackend session "run as root" popping up

[Josh Burks]

I get this once in a while as well, usually when I do a incorrect reboot 
(something locks up, ivtv driver problems, have to power cycle, etc.) 
and mythbackend doesn't get shut down properly. It is running as root, 
so I don't know why the mythtv user would be getting messages about it.

I just click "Ignore" on go about my business...
