It's possible to do it with one. Ubuntu's solution uses one *file*
with *symbolic links* to it from the login user and mythtv user.
Ubuntu also has a template in usr/share/mythtv/config.xml. It's
only used during setup, not run time (and needn't be changed.)
The entries in both users should look like:
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml -> /etc/mythtv/config.xml
/home/steve/.mythtv/config.xml -> /etc/mythtv/config.xml
MythTV's design for accessing config.xml is very flexible. Which also
seems to cause confusion.
