The exception is Browse, which uses gconf. This can be confusing and difficult for users. They must set their proxy in a GNOME tool (gnome-network-properties), which only affects Browse in Sugar. There is no easy way to set it for the rest of Sugar. Important functions like Software Update will not work. We have a workaround in OLPC AU's XO-AU OS: http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/337 It would be much better if Sugar used gconf directly instead of needing $http_proxy to be set. This would avoid duplication and allow us to write a nice Sugar GUI to set the proxy. This is an important bug to fix for any network that has proxies that are not transparent. Schools in Australia are like this.",enhancement,closed,Unspecified by Maintainer,Unspecified,Sugar,Git as of bugdate,Unspecified,fixed,,sridhar tch,,Unconfirmed
