This is a not a problem of knetworkmanager only; it happens just the
same in Gnome network manager.

I'm beginning to think that it is very intentional that the proxy
settings are indeed a per-user feature, so that different users in the
same computer can be individually allowed to access the web differently.
Again, single-users, which probably represent over 95% of Ubuntu
installations have to pay in complexity for the few multiuser
installations (as in all that convoluted session management).

Multiuser systems being the vast minority, and usually relying on some
trained management, Ubuntu should default to easy use for single-users,
while being able to be configured for multi.

To be practical, Network-manager should have the ability of saving
different configurations depending on location, which is still missing.
That way we could set fixed-ip and per-person proxy in the office, dhcp
and global-proxy in customer-A, dhcp and no proxy at home.
