Comment(by arma):
Something to keep in mind is that in the TBB setting, Vidalia launches Tor
and assigns a controller password, and then Vidalia launches Firefox and
passes the controller password (and control port) as environment
variables. It's not strictly necessary, but it's how Torbutton can trigger
a 'new identity' call.
If Torbutton does #3968 or #3967, it would be on its way to being able to
play well with the Tor deb, which (as of 0.2.2.x) sets both of those but
doesn't configure any hashedpassword auth.
Another (more hacky) option is that Vidalia uses controlsocket or cookie
auth to connect to Tor, then setconfs a hashedpassword option and launches
Firefox with it.
