                a shell wrapper to pull org.gnome.proxy settings into env, e.g. http_proxy, which is useful for .desktop files
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Why?

Useful for:

updating current terminal's shell env proxy settings, or
wrapping exec in .desktop files to inject env proxy settings

GNOME proxy settings should normally get propergated into the shell (bash) environment via gnome-terminal, e.g. http_proxy and no_proxy. However:

I noticed that applications exectuted via .desktop entries sometimes don't work. This happens when an app ignores org.gnome.proxy settings but can often use proxy env vars from the shell.
If you're proxy settings change, existing shell processes will still have the old proxy enviroment variables, so this can help refresh them whithout having to create a new shell.
