Someone requested it and I did not see a reason not to.

I saw this and it is configured on Incognito to not do that. Also, doesn't 
matter if it honors the proxy settings as the kernel redirection will ensure 
all traffic goes through Tor.

Is that a problem for security or anonymity? Incognito is not using Windows, 
so some hidden binary doesn't seem to be a concern.
