It turns out Maemo does have system proxy settings in a way similar to GNOME:
using GConf.

In telepathy-msn-pecan I hacked the internal libpurple so that it assumes we
are in a GNOME environment (the current checks return 'false'). Then libpurple
goes on fetching the proxy settings using system calls to gconftool-2 (ugly!)
and everything works fine.
