Comment(by arma):

 Is it a warning message or an actual failure that the user needs to do
 something about?

 If Tor can't write to its whatever, then it cries quietly to itself, and
 also notifies Vidalia in case Vidalia wants to tell the user. You can find
 some complaints in Vidalia's message window if you happen to look there.
 But things generally continue working.

 Do these Torbutton warnings mean that things have broken uncontrollably?
 If not, perhaps we should handle them as best we can and move on.
