Comment 2 for bug 546135

In the future this will be handled by libproxy, but it seems like the CLR bindings aren't functional just yet.

I was speaking to mvo on IRC about just that earlier, and he said that while that is a good idea in theory, in reality some apps allow the user to launch with http_proxy=foo blah to override the gconf settings, and apparently that would break. I don't think there's a realistic chance of distros (at least Ubuntu) doing this, sadly.

Chris S. said that he would handle integrating this code into Do and Docky for now. I hope that in the future we will be able to standardise around libproxy.
