Description Olaf Hering 2011-11-24 11:23:16 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0

After a fresh 12.1 installation with GNOME desktop, firefox connects directly to the internet instead of using the proxy which was configured during the second stage installation.
In the proxy log I see zypper and yast using the proxy, but when I run firefox it ignores the yast proxy settings. 
There is a gnome network configuration window which per default seems to use 'None' as proxy.
If the proxy is configured there once more, firefix finally uses these settings.

Please make sure GNONE follows the system settings per default.

Reproducible: Always

This is due to: (gnome-settings-daemon)

- Disable gnome-settings-daemon-system-proxy-configuration.diff for
  now: we really need to fix it the proper way, which likely
  involves libproxy, as mentioned in
  http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/issues/detail?id=165 (tracked
  in bnc#690493).

This is bug 725948.

FWIW, the g-s-d patch got dropped because there is no way to disable this in the UI, which is a blocker for the patch.
