--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Right now (OS X), after downloading the Tor Browser Bundle, it tries to
start up Tor immediately upon first run.
There should be a dialog querying users whether they want to alter
settings *first*, as a bare start of Tor (rather than allowing them to
e.g. click 'my ISP blocks connections to the Tor network' and add
obfsproxy bridges) could immediately unmask the user on networks where
censors attempt to detect and/or identify Tor users.
