gnome3 Network Settings not in the same place

[lesnoland]

Gnome3 has changed the place where the Network Settings are, and is not backward compatible with Gnome2 therefore Transmission will not be able to find if a proxy is set or not. The function below should be updated.

proxy_settings_populate( GConfClient * client, struct gtr_proxy_settings * settings )

I found a sample code on how to grab the Network Proxy settings using GSettings in Gnome3 here:

This is probably too big of a change for 2.30, but ought to be used post-2.30

Beta Patch For GSettings

[lesnoland]

I have added a patch that depends on HAVE_GSETTINGS being defined.

It still needs work, but this is the way it should be handled.

Problem: Tried it with bad proxies, and transmission still connects to torrents, etc (I do not know how this works) all I could find was the "proxy_setup()" function.

Also I do not see the point in grabbing ftp proxy, etc.

To be continued.
