Bug Description

Did fail using most of the internet-related features of banshee because banshee did try to use the proxy (Null) and failed there. The reason for this failure was that I had used a proxy wees ago and reverting to "direct internet connection" did not revert the key /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy to "false".

thank you for your bug report, it's somewhat a bug in the player which should stop using gconf, gsettings is where the config is written nowadays, g-s-d has code to update the old gconf database for legacy application but it seems you hit a bug there

Some of the keys that were used in GConf are no longer used (although are still present in the gsettings schemas in gsetting-desktop-schemas), so even though we are propagating the GSettings keys' values to GConf, some have a different meaning. Banshee should check the "host" and "port" keys for each proxy type (http, https, ftp) not the others. In fact, use_http_proxy is not propagated.

We are removing the GConf plugin in gnome-settings-daemon for 3.4, and removing all the keys that are not used, so Banshee should really use GSettings ASAP.

For Oneiric, I'll have a look at having a fix.
