Feature request: Access to proxy configuration from YaST software manager

[Atri]

Hi!
I added this feature request at openFATE
https://features.opensuse.org/310197

I am posting its description here too, in case people find it
interesting.
Thanks!
-----------------------------------
Description:
Add a menu-item (or some other way if that is more viable) to access
the proxy settings module from the Software Management in YaST. In
places where you can only access the network after you specify a
proxy, the typical first run of the software management module
typically launched from the main-menu in all the major desktop
environments, fails (unless you have the foresight to know of proxy
module in YaST-control-centre and configure it from there first) and
starts up showing only installed packages. At this time a user will
search for a proxy-configuration tool within the installer interface,
because all his/her favourite network applications (firefox,
evolution, pidgin, etc.) have proxy configuration options of their own
(as well as the ability to pick up system defaults of course).

* Present situation: He/She can't find any proxy configuration
ability from the software management interface, has to guess/learn/
know about the proxy module in YaST's control centre, and start up the
control centre, retype password for root, and start the module from
there. This looks like too much work!
* What the feature will do: Implement a "Proxy settings" item from
the "Configuration" menu in the top menu-bar which will launch the
already existing proxy settings module [in YaST], thereby making it
not only easy but also obvious for a new user to set up/change his/her
proxy settings when required for software management purposes.
