Xubuntu proxy settings

I have my laptop running Xubuntu 12.04. And there is no GUI to set up proxy settings. So it can be done via terminal. Open /etc/environment and add the following lines
http_proxy="http://user:password@proxy:port/"
https_proxy="https://user:password@proxy:port/"
ftp_proxy="ftp://user:password@proxy:port/"
socks_proxy="socks://user:password@proxy:port/"
Also if you want the apt-get is working behind proxy, go to /etc/apt/apt.conf and add
Acquire::http::proxy "http://user:password@proxy:port/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://user:password@proxy:port/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://user:password@proxy:port/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "socks://user:password@proxy:port/";
Restart X by log out and back in again for settings to take effect.

    Hi, there is a graphical tool called UbProxy, that sets the whole systema proxy, via a graphical interface (GUI).
    The only problem for me, was I have to log out my user and log in again to load the config.
    Is very simple to use.
