 Download TBB 3.0rc1. In my case it was 32-bit linux English. Unpack it,
 run it.

 You'll get the "connect" or "configure" dialog page.

 Choose 'connect'. A new page will pop up, which is the "bootstrapping Tor
 status bar" page.

 But the old 'connect or configure' page remains open too, and there's a
 "quit" option still visible. If I click it, it doesn't quit. Eventually my
 Tor bootstraps, and then both windows *do* vanish ("ok, I guess it did
 quit"), but then a Tor Browser appears.

 Seems like the smarter thing to do for usability would be to vanish the
 'connect or configure' page once they've picked one and it's no longer
 needed.
