 Replying to [comment:2 rransom]:
 > What fraction of the users who have a Tor transparent proxy configured
 will need this Vidalia prompt to help them launch TBB Firefox for use with
 their transproxy?

 I think we've decided that we want to ask the user about connecting
 directly to the public network upon *all* first installs.

 > What fraction of the users who ''do not'' have a Tor transparent proxy
 configured will see this prompt and click the button that configures their
 TBB Firefox to not use Tor?

 I think this will be a function of wording. There should also be a "read
 help" link that explains how the user can do more advanced things like
 enter the control port and password for the upstream router (if
 available).
