Bug Description

Hi,

I'm running an up to date version of Hardy Heron and ssh folders in nautilus don't work very well lately. Two things:

- Using the "Places -> Connect to servers" menu gives me an error: Cannot find the place the folder is not mounted.

- Using a normal Nautilus window, I enter "sftp://<email address hidden>/mypath/to/home", it works a bit, best case I get to see my files, I can also browse the folders and edit files with gedit. After a while changing folder freezes the window and eventually crashes nautilus while gedit is still working and still allows me to work on my files. Worse case it just freezes and crashes.

My packages versions
 nautilus 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu1 file manager and graphical shell for GNOME

Concerning the first method:
- Go to the menu "Places" then select "Connect to servers..."
- Choose SSH, enter the server name, folder path, username and click "Connect"
- I get "Cannot display "sftp://username@servername/path/to/home" The folder is not mounted" (sorry if the message is not accurate my gnome is not in english...)

For the second way it's a bit more reandom, I would say:
- Open your home directory folder enter in the address bar: "sftp://username@servername/path/to/home"
- Wait maybe 10 minutes maybe more...
- Try to change folder: nothing happens and eventually Nautilus crashes...

This morning after the upgrade (nautilus 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu2) the second way doesn't connect anymore.
It's not my server, I can access it with sftp using gFTP.
