system/proxy/mode set to manual but system/proxy/http/enabled set to false cause problem

The context: I had problem with exaile and radiotray, both using gstreamer to listen to stream. In fact, I later found with exaile, that they try to connect to a http_proxy, here 127.0.0.1, that I was not using anymore Checking dconf setting, I found that system/proxy/http/enabled was false, but NONETHELESS, those 2 programs tried to use a proxy that they should not. I had to change system/proxy/mode from manual to none I don't know against what fill this bug, but I see this as a bug of dconf. the BUG: If system/proxy/mode is set to manual and even with sysmte/proxy/http/enabled set to false, programs try to use a http proxy !
oh and the same happens, of course, with rhythmbox I.E. trying to listening to an internet stream with the wrong dconf setting, fails.
This is basically a bug in the schema; system/proxy/http/enabled is not actually used (note that there is nothing in the control panel that changes its value). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 648237 ***
