well from a user point of view its hard to believe that everything is fine. i mean something is not right with maemo when it comes to network proxy. because like i said no one 3rd party application works with the system wide proxy. not one.. add to the fact that only 20% of core applications do. I have filed bugs again the major apps but core and 3rd party apps (gpodder,media player,IM gtalk,mauku,mastory etc) this issues is huge and just about every 3rd party app is affected. It may be that developers dont write their apps to make use of the systems proxy settings. what puzzles me is why is the situation very different on symbain and gnome and kde. i mean just about every internet aware 3rd party app works fine with the system proxy settings and every core app works.. its just not a problem at all. same on my kubuntu laptop i gpodder works there fine same as every internet awared app on kde. same thing on windows.. why is the situation different with maemo.. really if maemo is ever gotten be taken seriously as more than an OS for enthusiant and geeks. It needs to fix this issue. right now i can export my httproxy to /etc/profile and this solves 55% of the issue but this is not how it should be. i doesnt have to be fidding with vi and rebooting my system everytime i want to move from wireless to 3g. I really hope this is addressed even if not in the life time of maemo5
