Comment(by arma):

 Another option is to make the "Sharing" window be four options: client,
 exit-relay, non-exit-relay, bridge.

 I worry that hiding the 'be an exit relay' option behind other menus, and
 requiring the user to click a lot of boxes, will cause us to have
 basically no exit relays from Vidalia users.

 But I agree that the current state of things, where we don't remind them
 enough what they're signing up for, is also bad.

 Oh, as a minor point, naming one of the checkboxes 'All services' will
 confuse people into thinking they can check that box and it will be like
 they checked all the boxes. 'All other services' or 'Other services' would
 be a better name I think.
