 What would be the benefit? If we stay with the tri-state UseBridges that
 will lead them to get out of the inconsistent state, was that what you
 intended to be?

 Yes, it was to provide the opportunity to resolve inconsistencies.

 However, even with a suspended mode, I suspect there may be some upgrade
 users with UseBridges set to 1 without any bridges entered. I actually did
 this the first few times I attempted to test bridges because I didn't know
 to click the + sign after putting the bridge in the edit box. It looks
 like the Vidalia UI now unsets the pref if I do this, but was this always
 the case?
