It seems to, though.. I don't mean to be pushy, mate, but every time I tried it, fMMS's proxy settings came up empty. I'm not sure whether the OS's own connection settings eventually clears data for fields that are "disabled", and whether that's why fMMS doesn't get the data properly, but unless I manually check the box those fields on fMMS do come up empty for me.

Now, since I did most of my testing on Polite (as it seemed to be the mode with the greatest success ratio) and with the APN settings correctly inserted, I have no idea if what fMMS shows me actually "counts" -- ie, don't know if even though fMMS shows empty fields for proxy (because the corresponding checkbox on the OS's connection settings is unchecked) it still manages to use the correct info.. Could you reproduce this on your N900 at all? Even if it's a cosmetic thing, unless getting that checkbox to go "active" is really tricky, it'd be nice to see, consistency-wise.

As for the random "Select Connection" dialog.. You are entirely right, it is unrelated to fMMS. I jumped to that conclusion since, aside from the fMMS's update and change of functionality, I hadn't installed anything new. Turns out, after some methodic (and tedious as I had to give it plenty of time in between iterations to "trip" itself) testing, a widget I had recently added to a desktop belonging to a standard/default app was causing that behaviour, even though it was supposed to be properly configured to not ask for connections, merely download data *if* there was an already active connection *and* it happened to be WiFi. *sigh* Sorry about that.
