Just a note to say that I have the same issue on Gentoo.  I have not
installed or enabled selinux at all.  mythfrontend is currently 4755 and
owned by root, but I still get the "Realtime priority would require SUID
as root" warning.

The only solution I have seen is to run mythfrontend through sudo, which
works, but is a bit overkill I think
