In KDE the answer is torK - perhaps one of the GNOME fans could name the
GNOME equivalent (if one exists).
Alternatively disable start on boot following one of the recommendation
made by other posters, and create an icon or menu entry to start the
services on demand - the later is a trickier approach because amongst
other problems you need to make sure that once you start using tor -
*all* processes using the internet *must* use it, or make the process
pointless (eg. email, apt, iirc, etc)
