if i have the http_proxy set, i get:
http_proxy
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY

if i have not the http_proxy set, i get:
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY

After setting the proxy via gnome:
- if i launch the indicator in a terminal with the http_proxy set,
everything works fine, else not.
- if i launch the indicator with unity (which doesn't have the
http_proxy set since login time), no luck :(
