Hi:  I've just converted my main box from ATrpms-based 0.25.3 to 
rpmfusion-based 0.26.0-7 under Fedora 17 x86_64. That also required a 
move from nVidia 304.51 to 304.64.

Most things seem ok, apart from MythTV.  Running mythtvsetup causes an 
immediate return to the login screen.  When I first ran mythbackend it 
said it needed the mysql_to_utc setting, and now it says:

I'm doing this from the Konsole, just typing 'mythtvsetup' or 
'mythbackend', which is what I have usually done.  Am I running up 
against a startup script or appearing as the wrong user, or on the wrong 
host?

TIA
