that should be dynamic, i.e. it changes with changes to the

From what I recall, they are unfortunately constrained by the fact
that
since the packagemanager is running as "root", due to GNOME
behaviour,
they don't have on-demand access to the user's proxy settings.
Hence why
they have to get them before executing the pakagemanager through a
script.
Would you clarify what you mean here? I understand that the user's
environment may not available if we're logged in as root, but I
assumed
that the client was able to subscribe to updates from gconf? Is this
not the case?
That is my understanding, but perhaps they'll be able to share the
details.
