Dear Matt,

I fear I have not made myself clear.

The error in Gnome, (nautilus?) Places > Bookmarks entries is due to the 
fact that there is no clear error message when a connection fails due to 
ssh key mismatch.  It would prove difficult to attach a screen shot of 
something that fails silently and with no error output.

Having fixed the error on my system it would take considerable doing to 
re-break it.  Do you know know of any way to simulate a key error in the 
~/.ssh/known_hosts file?  The concept of the error, a silent key mismatch 
error with no visible report, is the point of this bug.

If you would like, I could design a screen-shot of what the error message 
should look like, since at this time there is no error message, merely an 
error.

On the positive side, from reading your note it appears that the affected 
component is bookmarksftp which is part of gvfs.  Is this correct?

Thanks and...

Kindest Regards,

Paul Flint
