I use the following script to set a new proxy. It takes two arguments:  
the proxy host and the port.

----  script start  ----
#!/bin/sh
gconftool-2 --set /system/http_proxy/host --type string "$1"
gconftool-2 --set /system/http_proxy/port --type integer "$2"
gconftool-2 --set /system/proxy/ftp_host --type string "$1"
gconftool-2 --set /system/proxy/ftp_port --type integer "$2"
gconftool-2 --set /system/proxy/secure_host --type string "$1"
gconftool-2 --set /system/proxy/secure_port --type integer "$2"
----   script end   ----

Save the above lines to a script named "sp.sh" in your $PATH, and then  
invoke it like this "sp.sh $proxy_host $proxy_port"

It works quite fine and I like it more than the "switchproxy" firefox  
extension. Beware that this will change the proxy for all gnome apps.
