Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:7 arma]:
 > Also, is some of this topic better solved by teaching Vidalia to launch
 processes and use the right incant to indicate that its children should
 die when it disappears, even if it disappears by crashing? I haven't
 looked at how good Vidalia is at that lately.

 Right now, there is no way for Vidalia to indicate that its child
 processes should not outlive it.  That is why we need the changes
 described in this ticket.
