Bug Description
For command line tools, I often add
export ftp_proxy="http://
export http_proxy="http://
export https_proxy="http://
alias ls="ls --color"
to /etc/profile. Beginning with 8.04, the GNOME session can't start in this case anymore, I only get a terminal in the failsafe mode. Worked fine with 7.04. Maybe a parsing problem?
