Comment:

 Kathy and I started to work on this ticket, saw the early results from the
 Berkeley UX researchers, and ended up making a number of small
 improvements to the text and flow of the configuration wizard. We think
 these changes are a nice improvement, but we are open to better wording
 for the text and we probably will need to undertake a larger redesign
 after we receive more data from the planned usability studies.

 Here is a walkthrough.

 '''Change 1:  Improved the text near the [Connect] and [Configure] buttons
 on the initial wizard page:'''

 '''Change 2: Added text to the bootstrap progress dialog to let users know
 connecting may take a while:'''

 '''Change 3: Improved explanatory text on the bridges Yes/No page:''' (we
 added "if you are unable to connect to the Tor Network without a bridge,
 you can add one later")

 [[br]]
 [[br]]
 '''Change 4: Improved explanatory text on the bridges config page:''' (we
 added "Each type of bridge uses a different method to avoid censorship. If
 one bridge does not work, try again using a different one.")

 '''Change 5: Revised the explanatory text on the proxy Yes/No page:'''

 [[br]]
 [[br]]
 '''Change 6: Added a new "Reconfigure" prompt that is displayed after
 bootstrapping fails:''' (the idea here is to not leave the user on one of
 the proxy screens after a failure but take them back to the beginning of
 the configuration process so the sequence is consistent)

 '''Change 7: Added a new "Remove Settings and Connect" prompt:''' (this is
 displayed if the user clicks "Connect" while some bridge or proxy settings
 are present and fixes a bug where the resulting connection was not direct)
