Public bug reported:
Starting from intrepid, http proxy settings cannot be enabled using
either gconf-editor or gconftool-2.
You can modify any of the /system/http_proxy/* values and they got
reflected immediately in the gnome-network-preferences, except for the
/system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy - setting this from outside of the
gnome-network-preferences has no effect, so no applications pick the
newly set values.
However, when using the radio buttons in the gnome-network-preferences
to enable/disable the proxy, the /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy gets
properly enabled/disabled in the gconf-editor. It appears that gnome-
network-preferences has started doing something else itself to enable
the proxy that is not done when the setting is changed by other
programs.
Intrepid regression: it is not possible to enable/disable proxy from the
command-line anymore, e.g. with a NetworkManager dispatch script.
** Affects: gconf (Ubuntu)
