Comment (by abustany):

 Hi,

 I'd be willing to give the original patch some love, but would like to
 agree on the general direction first:
 1. I'd probably like to split the gnome specific proxy handling in a
 separate file, but if you'd rather keep it one in one file it's fine with
 me as well.
 2. As salinasv pointed out, we probably need to ifdef the GSettings
 implementation, so that it only gets compiled in for GLib > 2.26. Fallback
 would be to just use the global proxy information, I'd drop the g_spawn
 hacks.
 3. If required, we can probably support gnome 2 as well, in that case I'd
 use the actual gconf libs.
