--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
== Context ==
In Debian systems, Tor is launched as a daemon, which has its own user.
Vidalia then connects to Tor through the control port.
== Steps to reproduce the problem ==
1. Start Vidalia
2. (Re-)start the Tor daemon, e.g. a by a script triggered because the
system got a new connection (this restart is required due to a tor bug
#1247)
== Expected result ==
Vidalia (re-)connects to the Tor daemon.
== Actual result ==
Vidalia says that "Tor is not running"
== Workaround ==
The user need to click on "Start Tor" after the daemon restart.
