Note that the graphical Gnome settings only
affect sessions started with Gnome's special Terminal
menu item, not any other launcher.  When testing
this, make sure the http_proxy variable is set
by gnome before jumping to conclusions.

Wine's iexplore does not yet obey these settings,
so we can't close the bug yet.  To fix this part,
we'll need to propagate the settings to Gecko, as
described here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Embedding_FAQ:How_do_I...#How_do_I_set_the_network_proxy.3F

Likewise, launching Windows Firefox 3 beta 4 inside Wine
does not pick up these proxy settings.   Seems
like it ought to, but what do I know...

Anyone know a good free http client based on wininet we
could use to test?
