Same here, after upgrade to 13.04. Cannot apply proxy settings globaly. It can introduce a lot of problems. For example, software updater doesn't pick user proxy settings so it is unusable behind proxy.

In absence of this button, the Network Proxy applied is not getting applied to the 'Shell' based programs such as 'apt-get' etc. Earlier, after changing the proxy settings and clicking on 'Apply System Wide' button and entering 'sudo' passwords, the setting use to get applied for shell based programs as well. Currently that is not the case. Please note I tested it with user having 'sudo' rights. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-06-16 (165 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu8~ubuntu12.10.1 [origin: LP-PPA-gnome3-team-gnome3] PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-19.30-generic 3.5.7 Tags: quantal third-party-packages Uname: Linux 3.5.0-19-generic x86_64 UnreportableReason: This is not an official Ubuntu package.
