Does it also ignore setting you make from the GUI?

I just added a DNS server via the DNS tab and it put it in
/etc/resolv.conf.

See also the manpage for resolvconf about the new, dynamic resolvconf
setup that Network-Manager is using.

        /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
               File containing basic resolver information.  The lines  in
this
               file  are  included in the resolver configuration file even
when
               no interfaces are configured.

        /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
               File to be prepended to the dynamically generated resolver
con‐
               figuration file.  Normally this is just a comment line.
