Make start-tor-browser or Tor Browser the primary "dock" icon?
http://petsymposium.org/2012/papers/hotpets12-1-usability.pdf suggests that the Vidalia icon is rather confusing to users, especially when both it and Firefox are present, and the start-tor-browser script isn't dockable.
I see a few possibilities:
-
Make a Firefox Addon be the Tor controller, instead of Vidalia. Then, we can ship just Tor Browser with a Tor binary and Tor Browser would be the primary dock app.
-
Rig Vidalia and Tor Browser not to show up on the dock (how do you switch to their windows then?), and only allow start-tor-browser to be the dockable app.
-
Hide the Vidalia icon on the dock, and hack the Tor Browser binary to relaunch start-tor-browser if called directly.
