Improve our error handling of Gnome proxy settings. * If the proxy hostname is null then fallback to using Pidgin's proxy settings (and print a debug message). * If a subsequent call to gconftool-2 fails then make sure we free the stuff we've already read.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
