Hi Dirk,
From doing a Google search like you suggested, using these search terms:
 * qt proxy windows setting
 * webkit proxy windows setting
I got hits that said code must be created for supporting proxies, there is 
nothing pre-built, but a few code outlines are given.

It looks like the QT 4.5 dev version handles system set proxies, as 
mentioned at http://doc.trolltech.com/main-snapshot/qt4-5-intro.html
Any chance of updating the code to a new 4.5 snapshot and dropping a 
binary to test out?

Cheers, BlueMM
