I would like to comment on one thing about what David is stating, something I believe has been previously stated.
Ubuntu One is (potentially) a commercial product. If it could work flawlessly behind a proxy, most likely, I would be signing up to upgrade my account. It is clear that I am far from being the only person in this situation. Now I'm using a Dropbox free account. Kudos for developing a stable and *useful* Linux client. In a previous post it was explained why this bug is not Wishlist. Tagging a bug that makes the software useless for a whole bunch of people as wishlist after two years is quite disrespectful.
