in gnome2 I have a list of proxys I usually use. The project I'm on,
is guifi.net, we have proxys all over the territory for users could
access for free to these internet connections, in my case I've got
proxys of different places configured.

I think that most users that uses regularly proxies usually use various proxies.

Proxy.pac solution is not ok, we could not have announcing proxies all
over the network, usually dummy routers could not configure proxy in
dns, and in most cases proxy.pac don't works automatically.
