 People have been seeing this ‘error’ message for a long time:
 {{{
 Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols
 specified are supported
 }}}

 The error is harmless, but the fact that it is occurring means that TBB-
 Vidalia is trying to connect to a session manager.  That isn't so
 harmless.

 It would be very bad if any part of TBB actually succeeded in talking to
 an X session manager.  Can TBB-Vidalia ever connect to a session manager?
 Can TBB-Firefox ever connect to a session manager?
