+ * Impact: the environment proxy settings might end up being incorrectly
+ set
+
+ * Test Case:
Go into system settings => network => Network Proxy => Method => Manual
Set a proxy (I chose 'goats' for the http bit, and 8080 as the port.
Click on 'apply system wide'.
Note that /etc/environment contains 'http_proxy="http://goats:8080";'
Then go into system settings => network => Network Proxy => Method =>
Automatic
Set my automatic proxy config URL to my companies wpad.dat.
Click on 'apply system wide'
Note that /etc/environment still contains 'http_proxy="http://goats:8080";.
This ends up hosing specific applications that read the proxy from the
environment, instead of from wherever GNOME stores this data.
+ * Regression potential: limited, check that the proxy settings are
+ correctly set and used in both manual and automatic modes
+
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Precise
