--------------------------+---------------------
 Currently, if tor exits (due to a crash or kill signal), Tor Launcher just
 displays an error alert that reads "Tor unexpectedly exited."  To restore
 the ability to browse, users must quit the browser and restart it
 themselves.

 Maybe Tor Launcher should offer to restart tor.  Vidalia provides a clear
 indication of status ("Tor is not running") as well as a "Start Tor"
 button.
