I have just confirmed yet another vidalia problem:  the log window, if opened, 
scrolls rapidly and refuses to clear or close after I've opened it while 
vidalia is running.  All the buttons in the window become unresponsive and the 
only way to close the window is to click the shutdown X in the window corner.  
After that, in about 5 seconds, I get a message that the message window is not 
responding and do I want to terminate the application or keep it running (it 
eats up lots of CPU too).  I hit "terminate" and it takes vidalia down with 
it.
