Bug Description

What I did: Using Nautilus - File > Connect to Server
What I expected: to fill in the server/hostname information
What happened: Error message -

Can't load the supported server method list.
Please check your gvfs installation.

Also in Nautilus, choosing an sftp location from Bookmarks (which previously worked and continues to work using Filezilla) gets the message "Nautilus cannot handle "sftp" locations.

Pasting in sftp://hostname.com/www/ under Go > Location gets the message "Could not find /home/me/sftp:/hostname.com/www"
