I tried using telepathy, through Empathy as frontend to use VOIP functions.
However, the interface provided no place to specify proxy.

Telepathy doesn't seems to support proxy for IM, while most popular
applications like Pidgin/Purple do.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Empathy with related telepathy-gabble support behind a network requiring authenticated proxy 
2. Create a new account and try to login.

Actual Results:
Empathy is unable to connect to required protocol's network.

Expected Results:
Should connect to required network, and should offer a proxy dialog or use system settings.

Build Date & Platform:
Used PPA repository at http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ubuntu hardy main
Package: telepathy-gabble 0.7.6.1~ppa8.04+1

Adjusting title.

Supporting proxies that need a username/password (HTTP error 407) will
require the following changes:

* Gabble gains http-proxy-username and http-proxy-password parameters

* Either or both of:

  (a) Mission Control takes the configured GNOME proxy username and
password, and passes them on to Gabble in the same way that the server
and port are currently done

  (b) Empathy gains http-proxy-server, http-proxy-port, http-proxy-
username and http-proxy-password parameters in the Advanced area of
account config

(Ideally, in the long term, Gabble should be able to ask the UI to ask
the user for a username and password interactively, but that's tricky
D-Bus API work.)
