Connect window is blank except for Close and Connect buttons

[Rachel Greenham]

On Oneiric beta, when opening the Connect dialog to connect to a new server, the window that opens is empty except for the buttons at the bottom, which makes it a bit hard to use. Screenshot attached.

This actually looks like Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627711 which in turn relates to gnome bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656069.

The bug has been fixed upstream in gnome, and the Debian bug indicates that that version has been brought into the Debian archive (or is it still pending? wording a little vague there), so it may "only" be necessary to sync to the upstream version to fix this. :-)
