 Replying to [comment:21 mikeperry]:
 > we still will likely want to launch the browser in parallel to Tor and
 have it poll for when it can actually open a window to improve further.

 It can't be quite in parallel, since Vidalia needs to learn the
 controlport from Tor so it can pass it to Firefox when it launches
 Firefox.

 But that should only be a minor delay.
