Great, thanks a lot for moving this forward!

I cloned your repo, installed python-stem, tried to run setup.py and
tormonitor.py and got errors for both.
How can I test this from Tails?
$ python setup.py

If I quickly go through what's left from the Vidalia interface and I
could discuss the relevance of the following features:
- Info about relays in the circuits.
- Ability to close a circuit manually.
- Ability to view logs from Tor without an administration password.
- New identity (the one we have in Tor Browser does something
different).
- Bandwidth Graph.
Which one of those are you covering already or did you consider?
