try this thing out, then I'd answer something like "whatever as long as
they don't need to use the command line" again.
But why command line switch or environment variable. We can do both.
Now supported environment variable TB_STANDALONE=1 or -standalone command
line switch.
You could add this to the next Tails release.
{{{
TB_STANDALONE=1
export TB_STANDALONE
}}}
Without sacrificing anything. People who want can use TorBrowser until you
fixed the integration issues. See this as the first step.
Let's get this merged and then I suggest filling related tickets. I see
were I can help out with scripting, today sh, tomorrow perhaps js.

> I agree with intrigeri. I think that means a braindead wrapper is still
useful. You can simply click on it, drag it to the desktop, etc. The name
of the script can also make you aware of the possibility of using Tor
Browser standalone without needing to read through the source code to the
script, or run it with -help.
Ok, done. Attached wrapper as tor-browser-standalone.
> As for the env var, I assume that's something I need to listen for in
Torbutton to set the proxy settings right? Or is it something for Vidalia,
too?
Not sure if that requires a new ticket. Yeah, well, cooperation between
the script, Tails, TorBOX, Tor, TorBrowser, Vidalia. As the transparent
proxy user, I'll look into the existing tickets and try to make
suggestions. Additionally I might create new patches (only scripting,
unfortunately can't learn C in time).
Torbutton Example:
TB_HTTP=127.0.0.1:8118
TB_HTTP=""
TB_SSL=127.0.0.1:8118
TB_FTP=127.0.0.1:8118
TB_GOPHER=127.0.0.1:8118
TB SOCKS=192.168.0.1:9100
TB_NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1;128.0.0.1;... (ports ignored)
TOR_TRANSPROXY=1
TB_RECOMMEND=1 (set back recommend default proxy settings)
