ok, the problem is localhost. It should be HOST=localhost;... I'll have
a look to see what's failing. But, for the moment, you can change it
yourself in that same dialog.

ah, ok, the parameter to gda_connection_new is a bad design decision,
and will be removed in the next versions. But you can do:

GdaConnection *cnc = gda_connection_new (gda_corba_get_orb ());

to fill the grid:

gulong reccount;
GdaRecordset *recset = gda_connection_execute (cnc, "select * from
table", &reccount);
gnome_db_grid_set_recordset (grid, recset);
