Gnome Shell: Network Proxy

[jff]

I tried put Network Proxy (from network settings), but it does not work.
In fedora 14 (and previous versions) the Gnome network proxy worked fine.
Anyone managed set the network proxy successfully in Fedora 15?

Well i use network proxy in F15 gnome-shell and works fine here

Does is set those environment variables if you check from terminal?

Oh not sure about the terminal, but setting firefox to use system proxy works fine.
Actually i use /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh to set proxy for terminal (since it works also for root user).
You seem to be correct, gnome does not set the proxy in terminal even if i change it in the settings.

Thanks.
So seems that set the network proxy via "Network Settings (top panel/bar) - Network proxy" does not work.

As always, bug reports should be filed in bugzilla to reach the developers involved.

Logged a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697510).

(I am "reluctant" raise new bugs because in many cases did not any updates for them - see for example bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594016) - so it can be useless.)

jff: overall, bugs in open source trackers tend to get an active response about 40-50% of the time, and that's about the ratio for Fedora. It's not 100%, but it's not 0-10% either, which is the chance of the bug getting fixed if no-one reports it :)

This is good to know.
Thanks Adam letting me and us know this:)
