#4047: proxy application arguments should expand tildes

 Priority:  minor        |      Milestone:        
Component:  Vidalia      |        Version:

 If the user sets things like
 {{{
 ProxyExecutable=/usr/bin/polipo
 ProxyExecutableArguments="-c ~/.polipo/config pidFile=~/.polipo/polipo.pid
 daemonise=true logFile=~/.polipo/polipo.log
 forbiddenFile=~/.polipo/forbidden"
 }}}

 Vidalia won't expand "~" and the user will get confused. We should
 consider whether to do basic shell-like expansions ourselves.

 Are there other config lines in Vidalia where we should also consider
 shell-like expansions?
