I do think proxying through a single daemon is best. But there could also be a simple, graphical equivalent of "torify". Perhaps a Torify icon on the desktop that you drag and drop application icons on. Or a right-click "Launch with Tor" option. But statically linked torX applications for all X would quickly become a packaging nightmare. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
