start-up crash

This is the error I get:

I've got ubuntu 12.04 in a 64bits machine. I can send more info if needed

This is caused by a config file not having the default proxy options. But it should have them if my changes were fully brought in. I think that some mistake was made in recent merging of my proxy and other changes. I don't know what was done but I'm thinking I have to check everything again to make sure my final pull requests are what are actually in master branch now. It's starting to sound like everything wasn't pulled in fully. I'll have a look now and report back.

Actually the correct simple_config is present. The start up crash is caused by the last commit that thomasv just did (f3ff9b5). He has altered the cmd line options logic such that by default a options.proxy value of None is set if no cmd line is given. But None causes the crash since the code was designed to bypass cmd line options by using any default set in the config file. The default value for no cmd line option should be "none" not None. This is because the proxy mode is checked against a list of modes for showing in the Network dialog. My code actually did function fine for cases when no cmd line option is passed. It used whatever value was set in config file but allowed a cmd line option to over ride temporarily. Now the cmd line code checks if an option is set but defaults to None which means any config file setting is never picked up by options and passed into the interface startup. I believe my code worked fine before this change. Thx.

I believe this is fixed now. I refactored all the config files this week.
