Comment 10 for bug 843268

I don't seem to even have a manual workaround. gconf-editor and dconf-editor both seem to access similar (but not identical?) things, neither of which is the same as what I get with System Settings->Network->Network proxy (which is to say, I can
change the settings in any of the Ubuntu settings menu, dconf-editor, or gconf-editor, but the changes aren't always reflected in the other two, and only the Ubuntu menu seems to actually control what my web browser does.)

So, is there still a way to ignore hosts in 11.10 that works? I've tried changing settings, restarting the browser, restarting network manager, rebooting... and I still haven't found a way to make the web proxy ignore specific hosts.
