Replying to [comment:4 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...
We use the same semantics as in ''Safari'' to change proxy settings in the
network pane of ''System Preferences'' with the only difference that you
can uncheck the option to ignore these settings and use a direct
connection instead. A radio button would only make sense if the options
are not boolean but more numerous.
