Yumex proxy problem

I just upgraded my classroom lab to FC5 from FC3 with a clean install. The 
system is behind another Fedora system with a squid proxy server. After 
setting up the network proxy with the ipaddress:3128, I found that yumex 
would come up with the proxy, but would then fail. After doing some trial and 
error, I found that if I changed the yumex proxy setting to include 
http://ipaddress:3128, then it would work.. Not sure why this occurs?

The other thing that doesn't seem right, is that running gedit and vncviewer 
from a terminal window, the gedit and vncviewer password screens pop up 
behind the terminal window, which then requires one to click the window.
