Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:5 Sebastian]:
 > Not sure about the last patch, seems it would be yet one more way for
 TBB to fail to launch without any kind of user feedback when launched from
 a graphical file manager application?

 I think I've mostly fixed the 'no feedback when launched from a GUI file
 manager' issue now (on the same branch), along with a few others
 (including #2525).

 Now that RelativeLink.sh can display messages to ordinary users, we will
 also need to figure out how to translate its strings.
