Comment(by arma):

 This seems like an important feature that is worth adding.

 Another approach I'd heard pondered was that Vidalia would give you a
 popup on your first start, asking if you were planning to put some bridges
 in or if it should just proceed to try the public Tor network.

 If we go with that design, I guess Vidalia could start Tor with this
 'usebridges 1' option while it waited for the user to choose one. Or
 Vidalia could simply not start Tor until it knows how it wants it to be
 configured.

 Would that be a helpful feature for tails as well, or is it orthogonal?
