I think I made the bowser app work with the proxy. I was actually trying
to enable command line apps like wget to work via proxy and added to
/etc/environment

http_proxy=http://192.168.112.1:800/
https_proxy=http://192.168.112.1:800/
ftp_proxy=http://192.168.112.1:800/
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/16"
HTTP_PROXY=http://192.168.112.1:800/
HTTPS_PROXY=http://192.168.112.1:800/
FTP_PROXY=http://192.168.112.1:800/
NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/16"

After that, I was able to run wget for the first time successfully:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ wget www.spiegel.de

By coincidence, I found out that the browser app also seems to pick this
configuration up successfully and the browser started to work with the
proxy.

I have now three different types of proxy configurations on my phone:

1) via gsettings, see my earlier e-mails - not sure if this has
currently an effect on any application
2) via /etc/environment for certain command line applications and
seemingly the browser
3) via 95proxies in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ for apt

I am now testing if other apps actually up one of those configuration
types. "Shorts" (the RSS app) for example seems not to work still.
