I added code now to the apt postinst to write the http proxy out once (and only once). The suport for looking into gconf is removed from the daily cron job. The user and/or gnome-control-center need to make sure to update the global settings now and provide a UI that makes it clear if there are inconsistencies between the user settings and the system settings.
