It think we are using this since 3.0. But indeed, at least Firefox is
not preconfigured to use auto-detection. Version 2 of Firefox however
has an annoying bug slowing down surfing in auto-mode:

For this reason I plea to doublecheck the current version in Lenny for
this issue before switching to auto-proxy.
As for Konqueror, there is another issue: The default settings for the
java path (/usr/bin/java or just java) are displayed correctly in the
settings dialog, but not used unless you do a change and click OK. Only
then they are written to the config files and used! I found a way to
make Konqueror Java capable from the first usage (provided the user has
no local config file, but with *I*/kiosk mode this could be set
globally):
Add these lines either locally in ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc or
globally in /etc/kde3/konquerorrc :
[Java/JavaScript Settings]
AppletServerTimeout=60
ECMADomains=
EnableJava=true
EnableJavaScript=true
EnableJavaScriptDebug=false
JavaArgs=
JavaDomains=
JavaPath=/usr/bin/java
ReportJavaScriptErrors=false
ShutdownAppletServer=true
UseKio=false
UseSecurityManager=true
WindowFocusPolicy=0
WindowMovePolicy=0
WindowOpenPolicy=3
WindowResizePolicy=0
WindowStatusPolicy=0
