Title: Proxy "Apply System Wide" does not preserve authentication settings Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Arch: amd64 Dist: Lucid Lynx (10.04) Executable Path: /usr/bin/gnome-network-properties: When changing the proxy preferences, authentication settings are not carried through to some of the "System Wide" applications. Authentication is generally set using http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy_ip_address:proxy_port, however some of these applications are only configured with no authentication information (http_proxy=http://proxy_ip_address:proxy_port) The main application that I noticed this on is apt (/etc/apt/apt.conf), but I will sporadically run into other application that I have to manually update as well.
