Bug Description

$ uname -srmo
Linux 2.6.31-3-generic-pae i686 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
Codename: karmic
$

My laptop connected to Internet, but it have no direct access to Internet, instead it use proxy.
Proxy setting (server name, port, username/password) defined in "Network Proxy" (System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy).

Updating my system via update manager have no problem, but I can't install package via Synaptic, as it not use system proxy settings, instead it have its own tab to define it.

1. I can't define there proxy credentials, as it suspend, see #112397
2. Why synaptic use its own proxy setting instead of global system proxy settings?
