Comment 9 for bug 843268

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.
