Thats of course useful if you don't use GNOME, IMHO it's just a litte bit confusing because when I set it to "direct connection" it still uses the proxy settings. Perhaps there should be an option "use system settings" (which is selected by default) beside "direct connection" and "manual settings". This is the way e.g. Firefox goes.
