Heh cool - whenever I had tried ssh in nautilus "connect to
server" (same way I configure webDAV and ftp) the response I got no
matter what I typed in was "no default location" or something like that.

But what you described just plain works - I suppose that means the
"connect to server" interface needs some work ... it should just work
from there (like it does with ftp/webDAV etc.)
