Bazaar-NG doesn't work right with Python 2.4.2

[James Blackwell]

The gnome system on my Ubuntu Dapper system started automatically taking
the proxy settings in gconf and exporting the http_proxy environment
variable into shells. They also manage to get it wrong.  If you type "echo
$http_proxy" you'll probably see "hostname:port". 

The solutions to this is: 

1. Reboot
2. Do not log into GDM! 
3. switch to the console (ctrl-alt-f1) and log
2. log into console
3. cd into ~/.gconf
4. Find all the xml files that refer to the proxy. There were three files
here, one of which was in .gconf
5. Log out of the console
6. Switch back to X (ctrl-alt-f7)
7. Hopefully fixed.

Take note: gconf and its config files is particularly resilient. Check and
double check your work.
