The proxy settings were working fine before, but the latest changes have
caused nothing but grief. First was the issue of just finding the new
proxy setting GUI, since searching for "proxy" from the launcher or in
System Settings doesn't work. Then I've had to manually set the proxy
settings for Apt. Pidgin and Empathy still don't work over a proxy for
me. Now it's this issue with having to jump through hoops just to set
exceptions. It's not even clear how are the changes supposed to be an
improvement instead of just a regression. Ubuntu should not accept ill-
considered changes from upstream. I won't be recommending Ubuntu to
anyone anymore, since it can't be trusted no to regress long-standing
and important functionality in recommended updates.
