Title:
  configure automatic proxy with identification

Status in GNOME Control Center:

Bug description:
  Using Feisty (Linux 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 18 03:07:14 UTC
  2007 i686 GNU/Linux) on my company laptop.

  I am working in one of our offices behind a proxy needing
  authentication (username, password).

  With System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy I configured "Automatic
  proxy configuration", but I can not enter a username and password, nor
  does any of the applications prompt me for these authentication
  details - except for Firefox.

  ... with this I can not use Gaim, Skype, Synaptic, etc. while I am at
  the office. Nor does Evolution download pictures contained in emails
  coming from outside our intranet.

  Other than that: Network support in Feisty is just great! I benefit
  from the roaming features a lot as I am working in different locations
  all the time.
