New description:

 If a previous Vidalia install has created a vidalia.conf in the local
 application data folder it
 will contain a control port setting that will not connect to the VM
 instance of Tor. Tor VM should
 detect if the existing vidalia.conf needs to be replaced with a Tor VM
 default.

 The manual work around is to move the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Vidalia\vidalia.conf
 elsewhere and restart.

 EDIT: fixed; to be included in 0.0.2
