It should work but depends on the application.
There are different places to set the proxy settings:
* Environment variables in /etc/environment
* apt settings: Acquire::http::proxy and also https and ftp in /etc/apt/apt.conf or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
* the dconf keys located at org.gnome.system.proxy
* and some application seems to be looking at the legacy gconf keys /system/proxy and /system/http_proxy, but it should have been converted to dconf.
