Public bug reported:

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
If I try to open a nautilus window with an sftp:// location, and I
haven't done ssh-add to supply the ssh-agent with access to the public
key necessary for the ssh connection with the server, then nautilus
first asks me for my password for the key manager, and then it hangs.
Redraw of the background even fails at this point.  If I 'killall
nautilus', then do 'ssh-add', and then open the location in a nautilus
window, everything works OK again.

This happens every time for me, and actually has been a problem for a
long time, but I never got around to filing it as  a bug until now....
