Vidalia is not designed to control or configure a Tor process that it did not start.

I have tested this, and it works just fine. The question is; are we happy with something that works, even if it's being used in a way that it was not designed for?

Vidalia was designed to do this from the start, which is why it uses tcp/ip instead of some ephermeral file descriptor locally. The connection between their vidalia and the tor process is in plaintext. That should be the concern.
