Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
On Lucid development branch, network places gives generic error message
when trying to connect to a server over IPv6, rather than suggesting the
user place the address in square brackets. [ ]
Further more, placing the address address in brackets is not an
intuitive method for users to connect to remote machines. If brackets
are indefinitely needed place a reminder in the "connect to server"
window after it's open.
To clarify when connecting to (for example) an openssh server that
listens on IPv6:
this won't work: 2001:470:1f06:a25:a00:24ff:fe77:2bb
but
this will work: [2001:470:1f06:a25:a00:24ff:fe77:2bb]
