      A number of user were switched to dia, and so disabled our proxies in
      whatever browsers we're using (typically firefox). Since then one of the
      popular proxies has gone off-line. Coincident with that, it became impossible
      for some folks to get bugster to start up.

       The workaround, it turns out is to clear the _disabled_ proxy information
      form the browser dialog.

       Issues: - Should javaws even be looking at browser config files? Are they considered
                 stable interfaces that can be consumed by other apps?

               - If yes, then at least the proxy enabled / disabled state needs to be
                 taken into account as well.

       To reproduce:

        enter a non-proxy'ing host as the firefox proxy
      select direct connection to "internet" to disable the use of the proxy
              attempt to use javaws to download and run any app.
