Description Onno Benschop 2003-12-28 18:18:03 UTC 
Package: galeon
Severity: normal
Version: 1.3.10
Synopsis: Proxy on/off has vanished
Bugzilla-Product: galeon
Bugzilla-Component: User interface

Description:
The menu item that allowed you to turn the proxy on/off that I used
several times a day in v1.2.5 is now missing.

I connect to the 'net via satellite. The proxy server is hardware based
and sometimes it fails while it syncs to the ground station. I connect
to the proxy via squid and privoxy.

Regularly I turn the proxy off to render a page "Directly connected to
the Internet", rather than "Use Proxy"

I now have to make seven clicks, where it used to be one.

Unknown version 1.3.x in product galeon. Setting version to the default, "unspecified".
Reassigning to the default owner of the component, galeon-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.

The proxy settings are desktop-wide, having a quick toggle in Galeon
would just make things confusing, and on the other hand having another
set of Galeon-specific preferences would make things rather
complicated (and confusing too.)

The preferences are provided by the desktop, so should the convenience
toggle.  See the following URL for one possibility.
