Actually it uses the Mono framework's proxy settings. Mono reads the
settings from  machine.config or the application config file, but the
default setting ("autodetect") results in reading the HTTP_PROXY
environment variable. GNOME (since 2.18 IIRC) sets this variable on
the session, so unless you change other settings, Banshee effectively
ends up using the GNOME settings :)
