           Summary: Proxy Settings on Kubuntu 10.04 - no way to enter
                    authentication details
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: df6.626 at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

I choosed 'Manually specify' at Settings->Network Settings->Proxy and set up my
proxy settings. But there is no way to set 'username:' and 'password', this
fields are grayed out all the time. 'Prompt as needed' seems not to work too --
I don't get any prompt. So KDE apps has no access to internet. Applications
with their own proxy settings work fine.

This problem was discussed earlier at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9302385 but wasn't solved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Proxy with auth somewhere at the net. Manually specify proxy settings at
Settings->Network Settings->Proxy. For example try to visit some website with
Konqueror.

Actual Results:  
No way to set username and password, fields are grayed. KDE doesn't ask for
username and password. KDE apps couldn't get to the internet.

Expected Results:  
Either KDE should ask for username and password or it should be possible to set
username and password fields at Proxy settings. I expect KDE apps to get the
internet, like firefox, aptitude (via apt.conf) and apps which use shell
$http_proxy do.
