If Vidalia isn't capable of this until the next Ubuntu Code-Freeze for Interapid Ibex (8.10) I will suggest a tor package which doesn't install as a service by default.

The initscript of Tor checks for having vidalia installed and If it's yes it won't start. I will further investigate this the next time. But as said Leandro Doctors is trying to fix it in a proper way with enabling vidalia to reign the running tor-service. If this attempt will be succesfull none of these steps are necassary and I will be glad to see such a solution. greets
