 Hello.

 I'm running the Tor Browser Bundle for GNU/Linux in Mint 13 "Maya" 32-bit
 (Cinnamon).
 The "tor-browser_en-US" folder is saved on my desktop.

 Initially, everything was working just fine.  However, at some point, the
 "start-tor-browser" file was, suddenly, no longer executable.  Whenever I
 double-clicked on the "start-tor-browser" icon, it would just default to
 opening as a text file in Gedit.

 I made the "start-tor-browser" file executable again via right-click,
 Properties, Permissions, and checked the box next to "Allow executing file
 as program".

 However, now whenever I try to run the Tor Browser Bundle, I receive this
 error:

 "Vidalia exited abnormally.  Exit code: 126"

 I have not been able to run the Tor Browser ever since the "start-tor-
 browser" file became non-executable.

 Any suggestions?  I'm a novice Linux user, so please be as detailed and
 descriptive as possible--especially when it comes to the command line.
 Thanks so much!  :)
