ok, tsocks is all fine and nice but I have been unable to launch the default browser using tsocks, I've tried "tsocks browser" but I get an error message :
invalid string constant "osso-combobox-entry-arrow", expected valid string constant

I'm not sure what this means but the terminal just hangs there until I Ctrl-C/kill it, what am I doing wrong here ?

I've also tried tsocks /usr/bin/browser and got the same error.
