Good find, yeah that sounds similar. Probably these apps just don't use gsettings yet. Maybe a bugfix then would just be to special case: any string present in the server fields indicates HTTP proxy on when gluing gsettings -> gconf.
Thanks for the prompt response. Most of the people where I work just use Firefox so they can set the proxy manually, but I prefer Chrome (which forces you to use system settings). I had to regress the gconf settings of 11.4 vs. 11.10 before I could figure out why it wasn't working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876839 Title: Proxy GUI in 11.10 does not configure socks proxy for HTTP traffic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/876839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
