MrCopilot;

We understand your frustration. Ignoring hosts for proxy is something
that tends to be useful, but perhaps it was deemed not as frequently
used as the other functions by upstream developers, which is why it's no
longer exposed in the UI (which is something Ubuntu gets from upstream,
so it applies to all distributions using Gnome3). As you undoubtedly
have noticed, the option is still available via command-line, as such:

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost',
'127.0.0.0/8', 'some.other.host']

However, the issue you're describing is something different than not
being able to change proxy settings at all. As such, I'd like to invite
you to file a new, separate bug report that covers *precisely and only*
exposing ignore-hosts in UI. We can then send this report to the
upstream developers at GNOME (alternatively, you can just file the bug
there directly (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)). This
way it will run the best chance of being taken care of by developers.

Bug description:
  I can't found a easy (not-cli, at least) way of changing the proxy
  settings in Ubuntu 11.10. There is no option to change any network
  settings in gnome-control-center, and the network-applet does not have
  the option to change the proxy.

  I think that a GUI for changing the proxy is a must-have, specially
  since it was available in Ubuntu 11.04. Also, is my opinion that, at
  least in the long term, the proxy settings should be related to the
  network options, so a different proxy is set to every network
  (specially important for notebooks with are used in different
  locations).

  A screenshot of gnome-control-center is attached, showing the lack of
  network options.
