Comment(by tmpname0901):

 I hope this proposal is not implemented as it will break LAN-wide Tor use.

 Vidalia is a convenience, not a necessity.  As things stand today a Tor
 Browser can connect to an instance of Tor that is serving a whole LAN, and
 work perfectly - no need for local copies of either Vidalia or even Tor
 itself. I wouldn't want to see this capability be lost.
