[Bug 78098] http_proxy defined incorrectly

Public bug reported:

If I set a socks proxy without setting an http proxy, gnome terminal
sessions still have the http_proxy environment variable set, but as
"http://:8080".  Needless to say, this does not work.

Not only do programs not use the socks proxy as I request (not
surprising as adding socks support is not completely trivial), but they
also try to use an invalid http proxy when I didn't indicate that I
wanted one at all.

Presumably if the HTTP proxy section is left blank, then http_proxy
should be left unset.
