Mageia 2 KDE: first glance

I currently have a big problem with Mageia 2 as it appears gnome3 style system proxying handled by libproxy/gsettings appears to be broken on this distro.
Which basically means I can't get Firefox to pick up proxy settings using its "use system proxy settings" option.
I ruled out firefox as the problem by using the vanilla edition from mozilla which works fine on other distro's.
Edit: I was mistaken doesn't work on Mandriva either, so back to the drawing board and im still none the wiser as to why it wont work even if I manually configure system proxy settings Firefox still refuses to use them.

I'm running Magia on a Virtual Box VM, I'm quite impressed with it. So much so that I'm seriously thinking of dumping LM and Ubuntu and moving to Magia. Doing that would be, for me going full circle, as I started using Linux with Mandrake, back in 2000.

I would too if I could just solve this proxy issue that Firefox has on Mageia, its pretty much a showstopper for me.

@Koriel, I take it you've already tried the Magia forums https://forums.mageia.org/en/ for English speakers.
Bodhi asks the users a few questions at start as well - with our last few release we've cut it back to just two questions though. We used to ask 5-6 to get the user more customized to start but _lots_ of people complained about this.
Since we dropped back to just 2 I haven't heard much noise about it...

The ISO for 32bit Live KDE is 674Mb and a little under 42Kb for checksums and other files in the torrent. The above quote leaves around 19Mb for the associated files which doesn't seem accurate.
The dd method worked fine on two different machines, using both the Live CD and Dual Architecture CD. The method I used was to format a USB drive and then copied the ISO to the USB. Note the USB must not be mounted or the dd method will not work.
From the above mentioned official guide: Note that programs such as Unetbootin should not be used to copy the iso image to a usb drive.
There are actually only five questions for language, license acceptance, timezone, time settings and keyboard layout. This doesn't seem unreasonable.
Using the free -m command from a console terminal shows 924Mb used when booting the Live CD.
LibreOffice Draw is in the menu system and Math is installed, Math just isn't in the menu system. A quick directory listing of /usr/bin shows the components installed.
There are many other things that I disagree with, but opinions seem to be frowned upon lately, so I will just leave it at the obvious technical inaccuracies.
