Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:1 chiiph]:
 > Changes in torrc are applied via SETCONF control command. If the "Save
 settings" checkbox is check, it issues a SAVECONF control command.

 > So, does this happen the same if you issue a SETCONF control command by
 hand?

 No.  But clicking 'OK' in Vidalia's 'Settings' dialog sends SAVECONF, and
 nearly all users will click 'OK' there after they finish using the 'Edit
 current torrc' dialog.
