Comment 10 for bug 105415

This is still a problem in the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso release of Gutsy 8.04.
The proxy username/password is lost to Gnome applications, thus resulting in:
Synaptic Package Manager: Clicking Reload results in a "Could not download all repository indexes" window with a 407 Proxy Authentication Required message for each repository index.
Firefox: On first open, Firefox will recognise that authentication is buggered and ask for username and password twice (I assume this is because it's makes 2 requests to Live bookmarks or similar on load). Then it's fine.

Will update if it still occurs after all updates are made to 8.04. I just need to get some workaround in order to get those updates.
