Thanks for the hint, Thomas - and this is what I found out (I had zero knowledge of Python, now I know at least some tiny details):
The urllib module doesn't support proxies that require authentication. Since I'm sitting behind one of those beasts I had to use the urllib2 module and modify the generator by adding some authentication stuff (as described in [2]) to ContribLoader.getRevision as well as Wget.getPage. This way I finally managed to get through the proxy, download the desired contribution and successfully complete the generation process. However, when I try to run such an application it does get loaded into the browser (according to Firebug) but nothing shows up, i. e. the browser window remains blank. If I remove all references to the contribution from config.json and the application itself everything is fine. (BTW: I've tested with the DarkTheme and the Dialog contributions using qx 1.0.1.) Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here?
