Description
To lesson the frustration of new users I've suggested and implemented a MythConfirmationDialog to send users to review their logs in relation to the time zone mismatch.
Prior to this popup it would appear that mythfrontend would crash when it exited right after being started.

I mistakenly left out the necessary includes to compile the backendconnectionmanager in trunk (.23)
I'm glad there seems to have been no activity on this ticket.

(In [24037]) Fixes #8004. Add a MythUI popup when backend and frontend timezones are mismatched to present a "friendly" notification of exactly what the problem is. Original patch by Johnny Walker with some modifications for coding standards/variable naming/a little cleanup by me.
As an aside, this kind of minor user friendliness fixup is incredibly appreciated when we see it coming from users, and I will make every effort to review this kind of patch quickly.
