Comment(by mikeperry):

 Test that Torbutton always sets a SOCKS port of 9150 in the following
 conditions:

 1. Set these values in the torrc *before* ever running the bundle.
 2. Change the "Network Settings" options in vidalia and then restart
 everything.
 3. Do step 2 a few times with various vidalia pref changes, restarting
 each time.
 4. If you change the order of the SOCKSPort lines in torrc, does it break?

 If 4 gives Torbutton a different SOCKS port, have a look at whatever
 writes the torrc (I think Vidalia sends the control port command SAVECONF)
 and make sure the ordering is always preserved. Or ask Nick if it is
 always preserved.
