Creating the QNetworkProxy is simple. using environment variables is  
not portable and fragile, and as such i don't think thats the way we  
want to go with this.

The proper solution involves getting proxy data out of KDE itself. I  
am investigating how to do this (where investigating==waiting to talk  
to thiago). Whether or not this gets into Amarok 2.0 depends on how  
complicated it is to implement. In any case, we will have a few quick  
2.0.x releases to address bugs, and this will be fixed at the earliest  
opportunity.
