 In TBB, Vidalia will launch a browser once Tor is done bootstrapping. But
 while Tor is bootstrapping, the user has no hint that there might be a
 browser later.

 One option would be for Vidalia to try to say that somewhere in its
 control panel interface.

 Another option would be to launch the browser immediately (though perhaps
 after #3077 is done), and have it go to some local html page that explains
 what's going on, and then have Torbutton or something refresh the page
 once Tor tells Vidalia that Tor is ready. (If we go with this option,
 maybe this ticket shouldn't be in the Vidalia category.)
