Please describe the problem:
Original bug submitted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/120220

-----

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 - Gnome 2.18.1) 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 an error output when using "ssh user@domain.com"; Most users aren't aware of how to use the terminal and therefore can't figure out what is wrong with their connection.

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.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/41944 (only speaks of icon on the desktop when connection fails)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/93247 (nothing appears when hitting 'enter')

------------------

It keeps happening to me and on separate computers - the icon never shows up when I create a new "Connect to Server..." This will happen on a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06, 6.10 and 7.04 periodically.

------------------

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter in an incorrect domain, user and 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. 
3. Experiment with adding and unmounting the same servers and different servers repeatedly using the SSH protocol.


Actual results:
Sometimes the icon shows up, sometimes it doesn't and I have to reboot. 'killall nautilus' doesn't work to make the icons reappear.

Dialogues also rarely appear. Sometimes it will appear this:

"Nautilus cannot display "ssh://username@domain:port/".
Please select another viewer and try again."

Then I have to reboot to get it working again.

Expected results:
"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.

Does this happen every time?
This happens on fresh installs of Ubuntu 7.04, 6.10 and 6.06 and updated Ubuntu's (such as 6.06 > 6.10 > 7.04)

Just ask me.
