system wide proxy settings



Hi,

I would like to add support to gnome-network-preferences to be able to
set the proxy systemwide (for e.g. legacy applications). 

In order to do that, I plan to have a python dbus backend on the
systembus that uses policykit for the authorization. If the user
selects in the UI that he wants to make make the setting a system
default, the proxy settings would be passed to this dbus service and
writes /etc/environment (and /etc/apt/apt.conf on ubuntu/debian
systems).

Is this something that could get accepted upstream (assuming the
implementation is ok)? 

Thanks,
 Michael
