I've tried it, and it looks great, congrats!

A few UI remarks:

* I like it very much :)

* I'm not sure about the subtitle in the title bar, that reads
"Display Tor circuits and streams": maybe drop "Display"? Anyway,
I'll let sajolida nitpick on such things :)

* Displaying circuits without any separator but a space between nodes
is hard to read for me. Vidalia uses comma+space as a separator, and
it's easier for me to read it this way.

* The "Name" header for the circuits list feels wrong. How about
"Path" instead?

* I suspect the circuit status strings should be capitalized.

* When I disconnect from the network and then reconnect, Tor Monitor
tells me it's going to try to reconnect to Tor, but clicking on the
OK button doesn't trigger any visible action and the notification
stays in place. Buggy thread/parallelism handling?

* When I disconnect from the network and then reconnect, Tor Monitor
tells me it's going to try to reconnect to Tor, but it still lists
a few circuits from the previous Tor session. Maybe the list should
be emptied in such a case?

* Tor Monitor needs an icon to display in the task bar instead of the
default one :)

Great job.

Cheers,
