Bug Description
When using exaile, I've noticed when adding tracks to my playlist, the application will freeze up for 10-20 seconds, and the continue normally. I determined that this was only happening for albums where I did not have local cover art. which led me to suspect that the cover art fetching was having problems. I then realized these freeze-ups only happened when I was at work behind a proxy server. I have the proxy server set up correctly in my GNOME settings, and I suspect that the plugin does not honor these settings. Finally, I have confirmed that disabling the Last.fm cover art plugin fixes the symptom.
I realize this isn't incontrovertible proof of the problem, but hopefully it describes it enough that someone can reproduce it further.
I'm using Exaile 3.2.0 on Ubutnu 10.10 (Maverick), x86_64

Seems like a reasonable supposition. Anyone know how GNOME exposes its proxy settings, and/or how we can most-trivially utilize them? There are probably other areas of Exaile that also fail to respect proxies (amazon covers? lastfm dynamic? audioscrobbling?), so we should look into that too.
