It's being run by the mythtv user which is in groups "mythtv" and
"users". But when I look at  all the mythfrontend processes none of
them have a PRI of "RT". Does it matter that mythfrontend is spawned
from mythwelcome? I can't understand why this won't work. Is there
another way of configuring it I could try?
