Comment (by arma):

 Ok, I spent a while trying to figure out what this ticket was for, and
 here is what I think the summary is:

 On Linux when you launch tor browser from the command line ({{{./start-
 tor-browser.desktop}}}) you might get one of several error messages:
 {{{
     echo "$complain_dialog_title must be run within the X Window System."
 >&2
     echo "$complain_dialog_title should be started as './start-tor-
 browser'"
         complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root.
 Exiting."
         complain "Tor Browser requires a CPU with SSE2 support.  Exiting."
                         complain "start-tor-browser cannot be run using a
 symlink on this operating system."
    complain "Wrong architecture? 32-bit vs. 64-bit."
         complain "There seems to have been a quoting problem with your \
 TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD environment variable."
 }}}

 and if the user installed e.g. the French version of Tor Browser, they
 will still get these messages in English.

 And some of them, like the 32-bit vs 64-bit arch check, are aiming for
 actual end users who screw up and download the wrong arch of tor browser.
