New description:

 Gnome3 changed the way it is handling the Network Proxy settings, and
 pidgin is no longer working with it.

 Network Settings:

 As I see in gtkprefs.c, pidgin is looking for 'gnome-network-properties'
 and 'gnome-network-preferences' which no longer exist, they were replaced
 by 'gnome-control-center'. At the moment there is no way (as I am aware
 of) to go directly to the Network tab, but that will open up the Network
 also in Gnome3, so adding 'gnome-control-center' will assure backward
 compatibility with Gnome2 and also will provide a way to 'Configure' the
 Network Proxy from the control center.
