Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

After entering the correct information in "Places > Connect to
Server..." and clicking "Connect", there is no notification of what
"Connect to Server" is doing.

This appears in Dapper (6.06.1), Edgy (6.10), Feisty (7.04) and Gusty
(7.10) [2007-06-13] - 4.10, 5.04 and 5.10 not tested.

* If I enter in a domain that is incorrect or times-out, nothing appears as a 
dialogue - an icon does - sometimes - appear on the desktop
* If I have conflicting .ssh/known_hosts keys, no dialogue appears to tell me 
that there is a problem.

Both of these problems have the correct error output when using "ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; Most users aren't aware of how to use the terminal and
therefore can't figure out what is wrong with their connection.

How to repeat:
1) Enter in an incorrect domain, user, port for ssh in 'Connect to Server', 
then click 'Connect' - nothing appears as the cause of the problem BUT an icon 
appears on the desktop - not helpful
2) Connect to a second computer using ssh (on the command-line or otherwise). 
Disconnect and then write new rsa/dsa keys and then connect again. If you use 
"Connect to Server..." which reads the file .ssh/known_hosts, "Connect to 
Server..." will not tell you that there are conflicting keys in that file. 
"Connect to Server..." should offer a solution by deleting that entry in the 
file, or deleting the file altogether. At a minimum, a dialogue should appear 
to make the user aware there is a problem.

I have even had a problem on my recently upgrade Feisty (7.04) machine
that when I try "Connect to Server", nothing appears in dialogue format
(of course), but also no icon appears on the desktop. "killall nautilus"
doesn't fix the problem, but a reboot does. This is when I am greeted
with multiple versions of a shortcut to my server that I entered. (ie:
"server", "server (1)", "server (2)", etc.)

I'm not sure what files are involved in this bug, but I am willing and
still able to post any files that you request.
