Public bug reported: When logged in to the Gnome session, proxy settings don't seem to work. I am using a SOCKS proxy set up through ssh (I connect to the remote system with 'ssh -D 1080' and then set the socks proxy to localhost:1080). Chrome and Firefox behave as if nothing is the matter, but a "what's my ip" site confirms the proxy isn't working.
I can verify that the proxy is working by using firefox' manual proxy configuration, and also because it works fine when I log in to the Unity session. Extra information that may be relevant, or not: under both gnome and unity, epiphany says "Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()" when the proxy settings are turned on.
