Do you happen to have these error messages? I too run 10.4.11 and
haven't seen this problem.
No, they only appeared in the browser (Firefox and Camino) when I tried to connect to any site with Tor and Privoxy.

You can right click on Vidalia in the system tray and choose "Open at
Login".  This will at least start up Tor and Vidalia automatically.
No, that would only start Tor when I start Vidalia. I'd have to make Vidalia a Login Item for it to start automatically.

Do you have /Library/StartupItems/Privoxy/Privoxy?


Yes, I've got that.
