Comment (by gk):

 Looks good to me (I don't see that Unity bug on an Ubuntu 12.04 btw). Two
 things that I was thinking about while looking at the code and testing:

 1) Why not allowing `--debug` and, say, `--register-app` at the same time?
 I.e. being able to use more than one command line argument might be handy.

 2) Instead of copying `start-tor-browser.desktop` again and again if a
 user is starting with `--register-app` several times you could do the same
 as in the "unregistering" case: check if the file already exists and if so
 saying that to the user and otherwise copying the .desktop file.
