Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:2 anonym]:
 > E.g. it is overloaded as an option for setconf TunnelDirConns to 1 in
 older Tors that had it disabled by default; Vidalia will only setconf
 UseBridges to 1 if there was at least one bridge added as well. Imho the
 lack of one-to-one correspondence between Tor's UseBridges option and
 Vidalia's "My ISP blocks..." option is a bit confusing if you know too
 much about Tor :).

 Ah. Yes, ok. But Tors have used begindir for directory conns by default
 since the beginning of the Tor 0.2.1.x tree. To be clearer, there are no
 functional Tors anymore that care about that distinction.

 So it is time both to fix what has turned into a bug, and to update that
 help text.
