This is more clear, but was not what I was thinking of. I thought:

                               Close/Cancel button
                                       |
                                       v

+ +-------------------------------------+ |
+-----------------------------------------+

On click:


Back button                     Close/Cancel button
   |                                   |
   v                                   v
+-----------------------------------------+

I'm not sure about your dialog that combines the "select setting" and
the "configure setting" function, thus my proposal above.

OK, let's go for that at least to add a new setting. To edit an already
added setting, I still think the popover might be better.

No it doesn't make sense at all. Perhaps "Remove" or "Disable".

I don't think so.

What is the interest? One can't show the spoofed address before it is
spoofed, and the spoof will happen *after* the greeter.

We really need the 3 options, including "Connect directly to the Tor
network", as we want to have a way to connect directly without being
bored by questions. There is a problem, that we are in the process of
solving by improving the interface that will come *after* the greeter.

OK

We can add a select mode, as in e.g. Gnome Documents.
