	Yep, but as this API adtion should be done in GNOME 2.7
timeframe, how about adding a workaround as:

                        }
                }
        }

just accepting every new host. We need some kind of fix for this,
because just know doing sftp://localhost without localhost in my
.ssh/know_hosts make gnome-vfs open dozens of connection untils
exahusting my sshd server. And think about the non-hacker user, who
never has done "ssh user host com" in a shell.
