Comment (by ro0ter):

 really, just do this test:
 1. start tor, click cancel in the initial dialog (be fast if you have
 direct connection)
 2. click configure, type some ip/port for the proxy and add a user and a
 password (the password must contain the pound/hashtag character)
 3. save the proxy settings by allowing it to connect agian
 4. close tor
 5. inspect the configuration file.......
