Curious then, how else are you going to show the proxy URL and cert, and wait for permission? (Gnome and KDE experience has shown that notifications aren't enough.)

Sure you need to show the "do you trust xxxx to proxify your traffic" dialog. But once not every time you connect.

I won't say that's trivial, but that's not *that* hard. Browsers do such messages all the time when there is something they don't like (dns, cert, etc).

On an ideal properly integrated desktop that would go on the network connexion widget like wifi passwords and vpns (from a functional POW a proxy is a pure HTTP/s VPN)
