Bug Description

Binary package hint: f-spot

f-spot does not seem to be picking up the network proxy configuration set using
gnome-network-preferences. However, setting http_proxy environment variable and
starting f-spot from a terminal works.

In detail:
I am using f-spot's flickr export behind a network proxy on an Ubuntu 7.04
Feisty installation with GNOME 2.18.1. The proxy url, port, username and
password are correctly configured using gnome-network-preferences.

When I click on "Authorize", while trying to export a photo to Flickr using
File -> Export -> Flickr, f-spot stops responding for a while and comes back
with a info box saying "Unable to log on. The request timed out (9999)".

Flickr export works normally (Authorizes, uploads) if I set the http_proxy
environment variable and start f-spot from a terminal window.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Behind an HTTP proxy (no direct access to the Internet)

1. Configure proxy settings in gnome-network-preferences.
2. Start f-spot from the menu.
3. Select a photo, go to File->Export->Export to Flickr...
4. Click on "Authorize".

Actual results:
f-spot stops responding for a while and comes back with a info box saying
"Unable to log on. The request timed out (9999)".

Expected results:
The default web browser should open flickr page asking for permission to allow
f-spot to access my flickr account.

Does this happen every time?
Yes. Happens everytime. However, f-spot export functions work normally if
http_proxy environment variable is set first, and f-spot is started from the
terminal

Other information:
Similar problems (f-spot stops responding for some time) occur with other
export functions (picasaweb, smugmug, etc) however I have not been able to
provide reports for these since I don't have accounts on these services.
