In fact this is not the GConf  variable that is problematic, but the
"http_proxy" environment variable.

Just check with "env" that you have a "http_proxy" variable, and check
out if its content is valid. Alexandria crashes because it's not (and
it should not crash BTW, instead we should ignore this variable and
continue...).

You should anyway be able to start Alexandria again like this:
$ unset http_proxy
$ alexandria
