I tried a simpler version which simply runs Emacs (and GDB) under
torsocks.
At first it seemed to work. It worked for network sockets.
But then I found operations that failed because they used local sockets.
It seems that torsocks causes even local sockets to try to go via tor
As a result, commands like invoking the browser (to tell the
already-running browser instance to visit a certain URL) fail.
Is there a wizard that knows a way to affect only network communication?
