Tested on OLPC XO-1.5 builds ... you can run gnome-network-properties or
gnome-control-panel from Terminal, change the proxy server settings, and
then run Browse and the proxy server is used.

gnome-network-properties appears as a window over the Terminal and
includes a close button, and Sugar provides a border control to close or
stop.

gnome-control-panel doesn't include an explicit graphical close or stop
feature; it relies on the window manager, and Sugar doesn't provide that
action visually.  So to escape from it use Control/Q in the window, or
Control/C on the Terminal.
