I hacked a prototype of my idea and I noticed that it's actually more
difficult than I expected at first.
1. synaptic needs to run as root. So if you set a proxy in gnome
settings under your normal user, gconf will not have those values
available for root.
2. I don't know how to get the values that gnome gets from the
autoconfiguration proxy method (manual method is no problem).
2) is not a big deal, but 1) is really tricky. Does anyone have a good
idea?
thanks,
Michael
