Bug Description
I've been online for several hours in Uni using a proxy.
I set the proxy up using the Network Proxy control from the preferences menu. Everything works fine.
No that I am back home I cannot use the internet with any program that runs from terminal or uses sudo/gksu (hence running under root).
I used "Apply system-wide..." for 4 times now and even switched the settings and still the following things do not work:
* Synaptic still tries to use the proxy
* The terminal still prints out the proxy with echo $http_proxy (see bugs 48294 and 88380)
* apt-get still tries to use the proxy
What can I do?

Click on "Apply system-wide..." and reboot the whole system - should work then!
That bug is really bothering me! I'm always forgetting to disable the proxy and click on the "Apply system-wide..." Button before I'm going home.
