Oh, right! What a strange option.

That's not very "forever". Maybe it'll never again run
"/etc/init.d/tor start", but it'll certainly get started.
It also might be a good idea to reimport the bit I dropped about
this being "(not usable on a multi-user system)".

It turns out none of the options involve scheduling any future
restarts. Maybe it needs to go back to something like

I'm not sure about "to allow a secure authentication". I don't
think it's wrong, but dropping the "a" seems more idiomatic.

Perhaps this should be "with Tor until it is manually reconfigured -"

Maybe:
* One-off restart: stop Tor now so Vidalia can start it, just this once -
Tor will start by itself on next reboot, so manual configuration will
still be required;
(Or "on its own", beware apostrophe.)

Maybe:
* Permanent takeover: stop Tor and simply let Vidalia handle starting it
whenever you run Vidalia (not usable on a multi-user system).
(Or reformat the indents throughout, but this version was easier to
edit.)
