Description Reinout van Schouwen 2004-05-02 11:53:41 UTC 
The 'Connect to server' dialog UI feels a bit backward to me.

The reason: there are two fields, the first is the link name, the second the
location (URL). When I want to connect to a server, the most important
information is the location, so that textbox should be placed first. The link
name should be optional, and if not given, the server icon on the desktop should
just distill its name from the servername.

Also it would be useful if the location field remembered previously entered strings.
