#4290: Vidalia should not let users check "Use Bridges" without entering any

 The "My ISP blocks connections to the Tor network" checkbox has some funky
 behavior to it. The first time I tried to use it, I clicked the checkbox,
 pasted my bridge in the text entry line, and clicked OK. I did not know I
 had to click the + sign next to the text entry box.

 Vidalia happily let me do this, and I thought I was using bridges. Until
 Tor didn't work.

 Something is wrong with this picture. Either Vidialia should not have let
 me clicked OK until I actually properly added a bridge after checking the
 checkbox, or it should have popped up a message, or we should redo the
 bridge entry entirely so it is not so subtle about what has been entered
 and what is just a textfield.
