Please excuse the noise if this contribution looks/sounds annoying, but I was just playing around with adding (just cosmetics, for now) a proxy option

I'm not sure I accounted for everything, and I noticed that this compresses the current horizontal layouts in the 'vbox' (QVBoxLayout) a bit, but I'm not sure that can be avoided with the QDialog for settings.

And the following page looks interesting, but I'm not sure how I might go about *testing* any proxy handling code if I were to attempt to add real proxy handling.
