Are you sure about that? I've installed htop on my FC5 system and all
I can see in the "PRI" column are numbers - mythfrontend is 15.
Nothing saying "RT". My limits.conf says:

*               -       rtprio          0
*               -       nice            0
@mythtv         -       rtprio          50
@mythtv         -       nice            0

Am I doing something wrong?

I have PAM 0.99.5.0.
