New Identity works from both TBB and Vidalia. The difference is that
from TBB the entire browser closes and restarts and you lose open tabs.
When choosing a new identity from Vidalia the browser remains open.

If I had time and experience with Firefox plugins I would look at
developing something similar to the Network Map as a native plugin. I
still find it very useful as a visual cue.
