The problem is that I have different proxy settings for when my laptop
is home and when its at work (not to mention network settings, nfs/samba
sharing, etc).  As I understand it, the location manager lets me create
profiles and switch between them to adjust these settings.  

Currently if I have to adjust these settings based on my current
location I get to go into Nautilus Preferences, Galeon Preferences, Gaim
Preferences, FoobarNetworkedApp Preferences and manually re-enter the
settings.

I don't know what gconf workgroup administration is.
