Comment (by Thorin):

 @gk

 ^^ my bad. I should have updated

 I updated my language test suite (and added the few new ones since). **All
 34 non_en-US** builds are Windows 64-bit, with spoof english on. There was
 a smattering of different versions (as I usually just pick a random
 language for an occasional test: and sometimes manually update), but most
 were `9.07a` (ouch). I think the latest was about `9.5a4`. I used the in-
 app updating mechanism.

 Before updating, every single one (I can't pinky swear: maybe one didn't:
 I took no notes) would show the unpainted window before the tor connection
 dialog. After being prompted to restart, on the restart the problem did
 not occur. Also tested, just starting them (i.e not restarts), and the
 problem does not happen anymore.

 As for en-US: I have never had that problem on any build: and I run 32 and
 64 bit stables and alphas.

 I noticed a lot of translation fixups (still a few strings missing in some
 languages, and some strings in all languages): maybe something in there
 inadvertently fixed this? Like that broken `:vendorStringThing`?

 So, unless you want to test 32-bit, and/or non-one else can replicate
 anymore, then I think this can be closed?
