Comment:
Even though it looks good, except for minor indentation issues, the alpha
patch shouldn't set ProxyEnabled in vidalia.conf. The policy for settings
handling in 0.3.2 and on is to have all tor settings live in the torrc
(see setVolatileValue(), Torrc class, and related), which is problematic
in a case like this one, because if you set the proxy you enable the use
of it. One idea was to have a certain kind of torrc comment format, like
for example, if a line looks like this:
{{{
#* HTTPProxy 127.0.0.1:1234
}}}
(note the #* comment), then that's an old value that should be set if the
user enables that particular option again.
