Comment(by jrklein):

 chiiph pointed out that the Tor datadir can be specified via the Data
 Directory field in the Advanced settings.

 I found that Vidalia does not save the value of that field if it has
 prompted you for the location of the Tor binary.  If you relaunch Vidalia,
 you can successfully configure a custom data directory and relaunch
 Vidalia *AGAIN* for the change to take effect.  This is a bug.
