Yes, perhaps.  There are many keys.  gnome-network-properties controls
quite a few.  The one that was changed by my test was

/system/http_proxy/host

Others at the same level include:

authentication_password
authentication_user
ignore_hosts
port
use_authentication
use_http_proxy
use_same_proxy

There's also a collection at /system/proxy, including:

autoconfig_url
ftp_host
ftp_port
mode
secure_host
secure_port
socks_host
socks_port

Network Proxy Preferences on F11 also provides multiple location
choices.

I imagine large scale deployments of Sugar would use the gconf keys
directly rather than expose all this complexity unnecessarily.
