 This is not really a bug, but it's a bit annoying and maybe other people
 have noticed it too.

 If you have bootstrapped with TBB before, TBB gives you the chance to
 change your settings by clicking on the 'Open Settings' button during
 bootstrap. The weird thing is that if you click 'Open Settings', Tor will
 keep on trying to bootstrap with the old configuration.

 Maybe it makes sense to issue a NetworkDisabled call, when the 'Open
 Settings' button is clicked? Or maybe not?

 (This made me a bit nervous the other day, because I clicked "Connect
 directly to Tor network" on a new TBB by mistake, and then I wanted to
 cancel it immediately. So I closed TBB, and restarted and when I pressed
 'Open Settings' to add some bridges, Tor vanilla bootstrapped in the
 background. I don't particularly care about this, but maybe other people
 do).
