Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04

gnome-control-center version: 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu3

When setting the $no_proxy environment variable, gnome-control-center adds an extra "," at the end, which prevents wget (and maybe others) from working with an http-proxy.

I am not shure which application is responsible for setting the $no_proxy environment variable, but if you go "System->Settings->Network Proxy" (I hope this are the menuitems, i have a german sytem here), and filling in a proxy, there will be this variable set. There is a corresponding key in gconf, which doesnt have this extra comma.

The problem whith this is, wget is treating this extra comma as "ignore everything" and the proxy will never be used.

I hope this helps.
