 We should call Vidalia the "Tor Browser Controller" or something that
 isn't letter for letter identical.

 Users who have a system Tor and a system Vidalia, especially on GNU/Linux
 are utterly and hopelessly confused by two identical icons, with identical
 names - I just watched a user who was debugging circuit creation (ie:
 technically savvy) fail to find the right Vidalia at the right time. It
 was painful and could be avoided by simply having a single distinguishing
 UI indicator - a name, a slightly different icon, or frankly, both!

 Sadly, users have many reasons to have both Tor Browser and the Vidalia
 bundle installed (or a system Tor/Vidalia package).
