Firefox 3 got the system proxy feature we introduced in FF2 with one little
difference. It always uses gconf if it is available to find the proxy settings.
SUSE's Firefox 2 used it only if running under Gnome while otherwise it used
the http_proxy environment variables if set.

The default gconf setting should be to also read the environment variables and
therefore in default configuration it doesn't make a real difference.
Anyway I propose to only use gconf proxy settings if running under Gnome and
fall back to environment immediately to avoid a bit of confusion.
