Public bug reported:

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:passw...@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.

** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
