Component:  Vidalia    |     Version:

 Linux Mandriva 2010.2 32 bit
 kde 4.5.5
 qt 4.7.1
 vidalia 0.2.9

 vidalia uses "current user" id to manage tor
 but
 the owner of tor is "toruser"
 then
 you can't manage tor
 you can start, stop, modify settings
 because you have no right to start, stop  tor
 you have no right to modify /etc/tor/torrc
 etc.
