Proxy configuration done through System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy.
Proxy is set to -> Manual Proxy Configuration, using same proxy for all
protocols and using port 8001.

This results in  the following output in Gnome Terminal :
env| grep proxy
http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:8001/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local

By command prompt I mean the Gnome Terminal.

Expected behavior is that Google Earth would use the proxy settings if it is 
launched either from the Terminal or from the Menus. Currently it only respects 
the settings if launched from the terminal. If launched from the menu it fails 
to connect to the login/authentication server. The exact error message is :
"Warning
Google Earth could not contact the authentication server to activate your 
session.
The application will continue to operate but will only display data available 
locally (in cache).
For more information please visit:
>OK<"


Behavior persists across restarts.

Global proxy settings only propagated when application is launched from the 
command prompt.
