 You're right -- Vidalia doesn't change torrc itself, even if the user
 changes Tor's settings using Vidalia's 'Settings' dialog while Tor is not
 running.  I think ''that'' is a bug in Vidalia -- that led to a bug in
 which if your torrc contains an `HTTPSProxy` which doesn't resolve, Tor
 won't start and Vidalia won't fix it for you.
