This doesn't seem to be the case. I took a look on forums and saw your
posts.  I ran set and also tried echo $http_proxy (both upper and lower
case, as well as ftp_proxy) but it just came back blank. 

I then ran openbox and started firefox from an xterm in it, doing a
tail -F /var/log/messages.  I got the following

The next lines are after I did a ctl+C to get out of it.

So, I guess something with gconfd?  <goes into rant about gnome---ok,
I'm better now.> :)

I'm not quite sure where to troubleshoot this, I'll try googling those
error messages later tonight.
