When the "Apply system-wide..." button is pressed, changes are written to /etc/environment. However, this file is written incorrectly because the username/password is omitted. Also there is no no_proxy setting for the ignored hosts.
This is easy to observe. Change the gnome-network- preferences. Press "Apply system-wide". Open a terminal and
set | grep proxy; cat /etc/environment
to observe the differences.
