gnome-network-properties input boxes do not accept IPv6 addresses

[Pieter Hoekstra]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

When entering proxy fields (for example HTTP-proxy) the input boxes do not accept the ":" character. This character is needed for entering an IPv6-address. (Entering a hostname wich resolves to IPv6 works fine!)

As soon as the ":" character is typed, the box is cleared. (This also happens when copy-pasting an IPv6 address)

Entering the address between brackets, is also not accepted.
