Comment(by Sebastian):

 Replying to [ticket:2093 arma]:
 > While I'm at it, why does Vidalia set up its own log files from the
 message window, when it could configure Tor so Tor does the logging?

 The controller might run remotely/Tor might not have write access to the
 paths that Vidalia has write access to. Making Tor log if possible and
 only if not possible have Vidalia be a logging proxy sounds saner than
 completely removing that functionality.
