Re: Plans for 2.20

[Denis Washington <dwashington gmx net>]

One question: shouldn't the proxy settings actually be system-wide? I 
can hardly think of a situation where user-specific proxy settings would 
be handy (though I must admit I don't use those settings). If the 
settings are more a system thing, they should be definitely moved to 
gnome-system-tools (and could be also made location-specific then).
