Note that the graphical Gnome settings only affect sessions started with Gnome's special Terminal menu item, not any other launcher. When testing this, make sure the http_proxy variable is set by gnome before jumping to conclusions.
Starting a new Gnome session should make sure it's set everywhere.
Wine's iexplore does not yet obey these settings,
That's because it doesn't use wininet. The registry value could be read of course but we may have to duplicate the code that reads the environment variable.
Likewise, launching Windows Firefox 3 beta 4 inside Wine does not pick up these proxy settings. Seems like it ought to, but what do I know...
I just tried Firefox 3 beta 4 on Windows, it doesn't pick up these settings.
