If you want  to set up system proxy, i.e. environment variables in Linux/Unix, then you MUST make sure that you at least restart KDE otherwise, the environment variables will not be available to KDE. You can always check this from konsole...

Also what is saved in your proxy configuration file is troubling! There should never be any entry like "ftpProxy=//:8080"! If no URL is specified for ftpProxy, then it should be blank. Dunno how you could have possibly got those entries!

No it is not because what you did above it completely wrong.

A lot of things that should not are being conflated together here.

First, manually configuring proxy in KDE only applies to applications that use KDE's KIO for accessing the network. The last I checked apt-get is not a KDE application. Secondly, as far as Amarok not working through proxy, you might want to checkout bug# 246828.

If you want both KDE and non-KDE applications to share proxy information, then you need to configure system wide proxy environment variables and configure KDE's proxy to "Use preset proxy environment variables", which it will gladly do so.
