 EFF's Panopticlick test shows that Torbutton 1.3.2-alpha results in rare
 browser settings because of two configurations:

 1) the screen size which is adjusted to "1300x650x24" instead of
 "1300x600x24", and
 2) HTTP_ACCEPT which didn't have a space between ',' and 'deflate' but now
 it does. ('gzip, deflate en-us,en;q=0.5' instead of 'gzip,deflate en-
 us,en;q=0.5'

 This resulted in 'one in 300,346 browsers have the same fingerprint as
 yours' instead of the stable version's 'one in 9,689 browsers'.
