 There are times that I really need to get a new circuit but don't
 want/need to do the "new identity" (e.g: need the open tabs and current
 session cookies).
 Every time I get stuck in this situation I wish we had a NEWNYM or New
 Circuit button on torbutton, something like what "new identity" in Vidalia
 used to do.

 And I thought when a user clicks on this button should get warned and
 explained about the differences between "New Identity" and "New Circuit".
 With a "Don't show me again" checkbox of course! :)
