#3320: Can't apply changes to torrc when Tor is not connected

 Priority:  normal       |      Milestone:                 
Component:  Vidalia      |        Version:  Vidalia: 0.2.12

 Defect reproduction steps:

 1. In torrc file add two lines - !ExitNodes 1.1.1.1 and !StrictNodes 1, or
 whatever will make connection to Tor network impossible.

 2. Restart Tor.

 3. Now Tor will constantly try to make a valid circuit and if you try to
 remove those 2 lines (using Vidalia GUI) it won't affect.

 Possible solutions:

 In TorrcDialog.cpp there's plenty of tc->isConnected(). Maybe it isn't
 necessary to be connected to save a torrc file? Also, isConnected() method
 seems to be indicating a fully established circuit, not only control
 socket connected to Tor.
