Public bug reported:

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


Description:
If I connect to a server via "ssh://hostname" the connection fails, when
the key changed. But the error message isn't "Host key verification
failed" or something simmiliar, it's:

Nautilus cannot display "ssh://hostname".
Please select another viewer and try again.


This is totally confusing, because you try solutions which won't fit the problem (changed or wrong host key).
