Comment(by chiiph):

 I don't understand what kind of feedback will the user get if we listen to
 those events. I mean, wouldn't it be the same as looking at the status
 displayed by Firefox?

 Does anybody thinks that the popup dialog with a clock-like animation I
 talked about is a bad idea? Because I think right now it's the most
 straight forward way of doing this (since Vidalia doesn't know anything
 regarding TBB in its C++ code, it's all in a plugin).
 If having a global progress bar displaying N serial progresses is a really
 good idea in terms of usability, I can add a way of plugin-inify that. But
 I also think that the user will notice this particular case more if it's
 separated from the "starting tor"-progressbar that they already know and
 won't pay much attention to.
