Networkmanager should be able to manage proxy-settings

[Alexander Kallenbach]

I'm using my laptop in different wifi-networks. At work we are using a proxy-server. Everytime I want to go online I have to got to system settings -> network -> and then I have to enter my password to change the proxy settings.

It would be just fine if the proxy settings would be linked (maybe as an option) to the wifi settings like on android.
