An easier way would be to use gconftool-2 to change the setting if it
isn't available via the gui config tools.

A quick search on google for the key name gives me a command line that
might work:

gconftool-2 -s -t list --list-type string /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts
"[list of hosts]"

I hope this helps.
