Comment (by brade):

 We modified Tor Launcher to highlight the fact that tor generated a
 warning or error message.  A caution / warning icon is added to the "Open
 Settings" button within the progress dialog.  The same icon is also added
 to the "Copy Tor Log To Clipboard" button within the Network Settings
 dialog / wizard.

 launcher.git/commit/8a64ec3b07e2bfe82ab47401993f52f4ec5b0163

 However, the solution is not perfect because the warning about clock skew
 is sometimes output by tor before Tor Launcher has opened a control port
 connection (which is how Tor Launcher receives the log messages from tor).
 I think we will need some advice from the tor developers to find a way to
 capture all of the log messages.
