[mythtv-users] mythbackend session "run as root" popping up

[BP]

I used to see this occasionally.  I believe it's related to the the KDE 
setting to "Restore previous session" when you login.  It is KDE 
prompting you, not Myth.  I think I used to see it if I restarted the 
backend from within KDE and ivtv then locked up the system without a 
proper shutdown.  No need to enter a password or anything if you have 
the backend set to start on boot as it's already running.
