[Shotwell] publishing through proxy

[André Doherty]

Hello,

Well, i succeded in finding a workaround to this, using some kind of hacking
tool named "proxychains".

This tool automagically intercepts network connections in a process,
rerouting those to a proxy.
The drawback stands as the proxy must allow CONNECT on port 53 (DNS) and
port 80 (i guess the lastest is induced by the REST API).

However this works like a charm and once properly configured you only need
to invoke shotwell as below to be able to publish :

$ proxychains shotwell

André

PS: thanks for the advice, i'll try the newer version as well
