..because people complained about gPodder not working when in reality they were
offline. Also, when automated feed updates are enabled, we need to distinguish
between "Update failed because we could not connect" (in that case, show an
error notification) and "Update failed because there is no connection" (in that
case, avoid the error notification).

To fix the issue when ifconfig is not available, you can run
util.find_command('ifconfig') and if it returns None, then fallback to the ip
command or something.

Also, we might want to have a configuration option that disables this check
(but I'd still enable the configuration option just to be on the safe side).
Would a configuration option (editable via "gpo set" on the command line or via
the advanced configuration editor in the GUI) work for you?
