What /specifically/ is sudo supposed to be "handling" in ~/.qt?
We're getting people in #MythTV-Users who are having this problem about three nights out of five, and frankly, it doesn't seem to make any sense.
Neither mythfilldatabase, nor mythbackend actually need to talk to X at /all/, so they should not need to do any session authentication. Neither mythbackend nor mythfilldatabase are running after the error appears.

I'm moving this back to "confirmed" (but as "wishlist") just because it's a dire-sounding warning, and others may try to report the problem. This seems to be a known problem with the way the script runs, but is harmless. If anyone tracks down the cause, I'd be happy to adjust the packaging to fix it.

This is normal syntax when starting myth through the init script due to how sudo is handling the home directory's .qt directory. If mythbackend isn't running however AFTER this, then this is a problem, and we will need more info. Closing the bug, if you have more troubles feel free top open it backup.
