It should be the HOME of the user running mythfrontend.  Note that some 
distros have start scripts that change the HOME environment variable to 
refer to some directory that's not in /home before starting myth apps, 
so really, you'll have to check out how your mythfrontend is started to 
know for sure where it is.
