Strange as mine doesn't. I tried a couple of them and it seems to me that all the scripts don't use the Proxy (we use wpad proxy autodetection here).

Looking at the scripts, no proxy is set within them. As mentioned in my original mail, once changed the script a little bit to use a certain proxy, it worked. 
That's why my idea was to pull the KDE proxy settings into the script - but how do I get those settings? 
I already asked at #kde-devel and #amarok if there was a dcop call for that, but noone knew a solution to it. Do you?

Yes, I found that too and yes, the wikipedia tab works fine by using the KDE set proxy.

Thanks anyway,
Sven
