Adjusting title.

Supporting proxies that need a username/password (HTTP error 407) will require the following changes:

* Gabble gains http-proxy-username and http-proxy-password parameters

* Either or both of:

  (a) Mission Control takes the configured GNOME proxy username and password, and passes them on to Gabble in the same way that the server and port are currently done

  (b) Empathy gains http-proxy-server, http-proxy-port, http-proxy-username and http-proxy-password parameters in the Advanced area of account config

(Ideally, in the long term, Gabble should be able to ask the UI to ask the user for a username and password interactively, but that's tricky D-Bus API work.)
