I'm unable to test this fix right now but I would like to note that even
in Ubuntu 11.04, the proxy authentication was not applied globally.
Please confirm that authentication works properly in this fix as well.

for instance, in 11.04, the proxies used to be set as
http://host:port/
instead of
http://username:password@host:port/ 
in the env variables and apt.conf. I had to manually add the username and password in the respective files.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Using Oneiric alpha1 and gnome-control-center 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu4.
  In the control center I click on the Network button and I configure the network proxy settings there. I set it to Manual proxy.
  It had no effect on apt-get, update manager and Chromium. None of them is able to connect to the internet.
