Ok, I was able to reporoduce the problem you're having. This is defintely a Yumex bug and I'll try to patch it today. For now, you can workaround this problem by specifying the protocol in your proxy setting: Assuming that the proxy server address you entered was somepoxy.com, make sure that you specify the protocol by adding "http://" before it: http://someproxy.com You can change this in /etc/yumex.conf file.
I have just committed the fix to SVN repo so it should be fixed in the next release of yumex-1.2.x
Thanks Dawid, for fixing the issue for yumex 1.2.x, can you added the changes to yumex-1.9.x too

Tim, this issue doesn't seem to apply to 1.9.X branch - at least I couldn't reproduce because it doesn't crash no matter what the proxy addreess in yumex.conf is.
