Bug#407927: iceape: proxy configuration disabled

[Armando Romero]

Dear Hendrik-Jan,

I am sorry if I was not polite enough.

I understood the bug reporting system as way to improve Debian system,
so I understand that correcting bugs helps get better operating system
later. I suppose that bugs also go to upstream maintainers.

Further, thousands of people have been used or use mozilla in their
existing Sarge system, just like me. Some percentage of them want to use
proxy settings.

I have that picture in mind. Now, Etch is not stable and many people do
not upgrade yet. You know what happens when they upgrade? There will be
just more bugs and more time to spend. Maybe nobody else experiences
this problem but me, I don't know. However, I used Sarge, I did changes
to profile through the Sarge Mozilla and Iceape is follow up and now
proxy settings cannot be touched. That is what I observe.

In that regard the profile does have common things with same product
under different name. If Iceape is re-using previous configuration files
and serves as replacement for Mozilla, it shall also handle them correctly.
