Steve-

Side-by-side would be good.

I'm often switching my proxy settings around between port 8118 (use 
Privoxy+Tor) and port 8119 (use Privoxy w/o Tor). I don't like the 
Firefox "Tor button" plugin because it's too global. I'd like one 
session that I know will use Tor, and another that won't. I was 
considering installing Seamonkey with different proxy settings for this 
reason alone. It's good to be able to use the full speed of my 
connection, while still keeping the anonymous option open for some traffic.

I think themes may be a bit distracting too, but that depends on the 
theme. Having a different process name would be nice, or a little icon 
somewhere would be enough. Just so long as I can tell the two apart and 
have them be separate processes with separate configurations.

Cheers-
-Andy
