Scrobbling through proxy does still not work in RC 1

[Jan Holthuis]

OK, so the problem is getting the Proxy settings from the KDE4 system
settings to Qt4. Creating a QNetworkProxy-object should not be the
problem as this seems pretty trivial:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qnetworkproxy.html

Unfortunately, I don't know how to get the settings from KDE4.2 either,
but for now, it would be adequate if you used the $*_proxy environment
variables. I don't know what the code looks like, but that should be too
hard to implement, so it would be nice to have that implemented before
Amarok2 is released. (I know, you're in freature freeze, but you could
consider it as a bug. ;-) )
