 Migrated from old trac:
 "This is mainly inspired by the resolved  333. At the moment additions to
 the exit policy list made by user outside Vidalia are discarded when
 .TORRC is saved again due some parameters being changed inside Vidalia.
 Example: if I currently have set exit policy to only "instant messengers"
 in Vidalia, add by hand port 5223 to .TORRC, then run Vidalia, change for
 example the allowed bandwidth and save then I get the standard "IM" exit
 ports, effectivly undoing the modification I made previously to the
 policy.

 Vidalia already does a great deal parsing .TORRC (even adding comments to
 several parameters), would be nice if also the exit policy would be
 checked so that unknown ports wouldn't be overwritten. Ideally the GUI
 could include some sort of indicator which would hint that the
 configuration file features settings which affect TOR's behaviour, but
 aren't configurable/supported by the GUI (Vidalia)."
