 I looked up this issue (yes, I did try) and the remedy you seem to suggest
 is to check if other versions of Vidalia or Tor are running - I have no
 other versions running and I do not have the authentication setting turned
 on in the preferences and yet it just stays on "Authenticating to Tor" no
 matter what. It will also ask for a password on startup. Now what I do in
 practice is just cancel this and ignore the "Authenticating to Tor" (as it
 connects and bootstraps anyway) but it seems shoddy and a bug that the GUI
 continues to state "Authenticating..."
