The reason this is a problem is because the mythfrontend binary is frequently installed with user:group set to root:root, and if you launch it as a regular user then you're really launching it via the 'other' bits. The solution is to 'chown root:users mythfrontend' and then do the chmod a+s thing to it again. now if you launch it as a regular user (as long as they are in the users group) it should run as root, with root priority.

The above is absolutely not true. I do not want to explain in detail, so please 
reread chmod manualpage or other documentation.
