[Sugar-devel] Proxy Settings Feature in the recent versions of sugar

[Manash Raja]

Hi,

I thank you all for the guidance.

I modified my PR as per your suggestions and now the implementation of the
proxy feature is far better.
@Sam, as you suggested, I have now completely removed the need of
re-writing "proxy.sh" every time the settings changes and am using
"org.gnome.system.proxy" schemas. Now "/usr/bin/sugar" is hard-coded to
read the proxy settings from "org.gnome.system.proxy" and export it to the
environment variables required for the proxy settings to be available
easily.

@Gonzalo, thanks for the link to that important patch from Manuel Quiñones.
And @James, I have changed my "view.py" and "model.py" files to go with
Manuel Quiñones' way of setting the "org.gnome.system.proxy" schemas via
GSettings. This has hence removed the dependence on polkit for file write
permissions and made us do away with extra files like "set_proxy.py" for
running root permitted scripts.

Also I have removed the "logout.sh" script as now I am using the pre-made
"require-restart" feature present in "sectionview" which asks the user for
restart.

Also @James, shall I now therefore submit the GUI changes and the changes
you proposed to for this update in the features page?

Here is the patch I submitted:

Thanks
Regards
Manash Pratim Das
