Duplicate Bug, Duplicate comment... Disappointed....
New Updates still do not allow for setting ignore_hosts, which in almost all cases where a proxy is needed there is an intranet that is not sent through the proxy. I love automatic security updates, an essential part of the Ubuntu experience. I do not love nor am I enchanted by having the aforementioned automatic security update remove access to the corporate intranet that was working fine before I consented to install updates. Removal of the old version left its settings around, and when compared to new set, they were better organized and more complete. I've added ignore_hosts setting to the new set in hopes that its implemented but not in the gui yet. I'll find out on the next reboot I suppose, Else I am confined to Firefox for the intranet as it allows manual proxy setup with exclusions. This replacement was shortsighted and not at all customer focused. So here is a tip for you, free of charge. If a large group of your users depend on standard ways of doing things, PROXY SETTINGS for instance, DO NOT REPLACE THAT FUNCTIONALITY with LESS FUNCTION. One would think this is self evident, I guess not. This bug is from early September, Almost November now and it is almost finished, but pushed out on my machine anyway.

There is no option to change any network settings in gnome-control-center, and the network-applet does not have the option to change the proxy. I think that a GUI for changing the proxy is a must-have, specially since it was available in Ubuntu 11.04. Also, is my opinion that, at least in the long term, the proxy settings should be related to the network options, so a different proxy is set to every network (specially important for notebooks with are used in different locations). A screenshot of gnome-control-center is attached, showing the lack of network options.
