Found a workaround - one which I don't like: 1) find out which proxy url we define in our *.pac file (just open the URI of the configuration file in your browser) 2) Go to "System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy" 3) Select "Manual proxy configuration" 4) enter proxy URL and Port 5) click on "Details" button 6) enter user name and password 7) close the dialog 8) see if it works - yes it does 9) go back to "System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy" 10) Select "Automatic proxy configuration" (with URI of *.pac file) 11) close dialog 12) see if it works - yes it still does!
Wonder if this is a bug or a feature - will find it out. However, I do not like storing the user name and password without encryption in a file. Can't Gnome be configured to store this in the Keychain or provide another more secure mechanism?
