Comment 78 for bug 387308

Wow, the *entire* Ubuntu One component is *unusable* for anyone behind a proxy, and yet this is not considered "High" importance, as per the website mentioned in the previous post:

# High:
# Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)
# Makes a default Ubuntu installation generally unusable for some users
    * For example, if the system fails to boot, or X fails to start, on a certain make and model of computer
# A problem with an essential hardware component (disk controller, laptop built-in wireless, video card, keyboard, mouse)
# Has a moderate impact on a large portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)

I find it very difficult to understand why this is so complicated and difficult to fix. Any number of applications use a proxy connection. It's standard practice. This bug was reported on 2009-06-15. Today is 2011-03-15. Almost two years have passed and this "unimportant" bug remains. I think at least the first and last points quoted above apply.
