I tried this, and mythbackend is owned by mythtv and the grp is users.
When the service is running, root still owns the process, and
ringbuf1.nuv is still root root. 

Also kind of weird, I get two instances of mythfrontend running when i
start up. One gets auto-started by kde when the mythtv user logs in
automatically. I can't figure out where the other one is being run from.
