my.cnf wait_timeout - result value differs by access method - a bug? (no replies)

Hi,

I've set wait_timeout in my.cnf.
In MySQL Administrator, the new value is shown (93600).
In a CLI when logged as root, the new value is also shown.
In MySQL Administrator, when logged as other user, the new value is shown too.

However, in CLI and Query Browser, logged as other user, the old (default 28800) value is shown, see below.

Anyone knows what's going on please?

Thanks,
Ondra
