Hi,
[ dropping the TBB folks from the Cc list for this sub-thread; also,
anonym: if you've caught up with tails-dev@ traffic, and I can now
stop explicitly Cc'ing you, just tell me; and no need to Cc me, I do
read the list :) ]

Full ack. Ideally, at some point, we may want to run Tor Launcher in
the greeter so that all such configuration is done in a single place.
But then we need to run little-t-tor before the network has been
configured, and we're blocked by that old bug in it that makes it not
catch up later when it's started while the network is still down.
Perhaps this is worth a low-priority ticket so that we don't forget?

Nothing specific, I only wanted to make sure you were reasoning within
the context of current Tails :)
Cheers!
