Which version of TBB had a different behavior?  I'd like to see how it 
used to behave.  I tried TBB 2.4.18 but it does not exit when tor is 
killed (but everything is shut down if Vidalia exits).

I don't think the behavior has changed since the first 3.x series 
release.  But it would be nice if Tor Launcher provided an option to 
restart tor rather than just displaying an error message.  I opened a 
ticket:
