I totally agree with you on this. However, my question is how long will
Banshee be held hostage by proxy problems that aren't its
responsibility? There could be an interim solution that would allow us
corporate types to get through proxies while the real solution is
implemented further down the software stack. Unless of course the people
frustrated by it are the same ones that control those areas. My 2c
