Alex: The interaction with gnome-session is that gnome-session sets the env.
var. according to gconf, and this setting is then inherited by all other apps
in the session, see pstree:
│ └─gnome-session─┬─Xgl
│ ├─beagle-search───2*[{beagle-search}]
│ ├─evolution-alarm───2*[{evolution-alarm}]
│ ├─gnome-cups-icon
│ ├─gnome-panel
│ ├─nautilus
│ ├─nm-applet
│ ├─2*[ssh-agent]
│ ├─update-notifier
│ └─{gnome-session}
For example gnome-terminal sees the env. var. as overruling the gconf
values, and thus stops obeying changes to the gconf settings for the
duration of the session.
Gnome-session does _NOT_ set the env. var. if "use_http_proxy" is not
set. The problem is that gnome-session is only able to check _once_ at
startup, and this setting is then inherited and overruling.
