Replying to [comment:4 sysrqb]:
> But the way I understand Vidalia to handle these changes is that while
Tor is not running Vidalia write the changes out to its config and marks
them as changed. Once Vidalia starts Tor and successfully connects to it,
Vidalia sends the necessary commands to apply the new settings.

> This is exactly how my tests show it to work...is this not how it was
designed to work?
Right, I forgot about that, yes. I trust that your patch works, but I'm
just confused about why starting Tor right after saving the settings is
different from changing them, wait a few seconds, and press "Start Tor"
(as the reporter seems to have done). Do you understand where my confusion
comes from? It would be nice to understand why those settings saved in
vidalia.conf and marked as unapplied to Tor don't get applied sometimes.

It's already good to go from my point of view, but there need to be at
least one alpha release so that it gets properly tested before calling it
stable.
