[Bug 576804] [NEW] system wide proxy settings not respected

[udippel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

One should expect system-wide proxy settings to be used by most
applications, I guess. I find this not to be the case: actually I
haven't found ANY that uses the settings. So this must be a bug.

Here is how to reproduce it for Kubuntu 10.04:

Set a (working) proxy in Network Settings->Proxy->Manually specify->Apply
Reboot
The proxy settings are there:
$ cat .kde/share/config/kioslaverc
PersistentProxyConnection=false

[$Version]
update_info=kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r1,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r2,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r3

[Proxy Settings]
AuthMode=0
NoProxyFor=
Proxy Config Script=
ProxyType=1
ReversedException=false
ftpProxy=//:8080
httpProxy=http://172.16.1.5:80
httpsProxy=//:8080

So the proxy does work after all.
