Description SECoder 2006-04-20 09:14:49 UTC 
When configuring the proxy options on the gnome-control-center,
the system creates a system wide variable named "http_proxy" via
the export command. But in those cases the gnome preferences includes
the authentication option, this information is not exported.
It should be like:
export http_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"
but it only does:
export http_proxy="http://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"
what makes aplications like apt-get and synaptic stop working.

Maybe is a security subject... ¿?

Gnome-terminal does that since 2.14.x.
Comment 2 Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore 2006-04-20 09:22:00 UTC 
Confirmed, will be working on that soon.
Comment 3 Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore 2006-05-14 11:52:52 UTC 
Probably fixed in CVS HEAD (the development version), which will probably be released later today as 2.15.0. Please test it! =)
