I can confirm this problem (10.04): Though the authentication
credentials are entered in gnome-network-properties and set as system
wide, they are not present in

 * $http_proxy in shell environments. Neither in on pure tty, nor within 
terminals under gnome.
 * /etc/apt/apt.conf
 * Synaptics

In all these cases, only the normal proxy informations are present.
On the other hand:

 * update-manager works.
 * firefox works, but is still asking for auth credentials.

There is interesting output, if you start gnome-network-properties on a
commandline...

It should be up to the administrator whether the auth credentials are
also set system wide or not.
