Comment (by ducklips):

 Thinking about this a bit more this morning, the user expectation problem
 stems from the ambiguity of what the unchecked state actually maps to.
 This could be resolved by replacing the checkbox with a radio button group
 (which is much more congruent with the way these options are presented in
 Seamonkey / Firefox / etc.) so that the states are clear.  I would think
 the labels would be:
 * Use system proxy settings  (and put the button next to or under this
 radio button label, and disable it if this radio button wasn't selected)
 * Direct Connection

 Just a thought...
