Works perfectly!

if anyone else is interested later, here is what you need to execute:
(for example for an ssh-mount in slot 5)

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/connected_servers/5/uri 
"ssh://user host/path" # Notice: there is no ":" before the path
gconftool-2 --type string --set 
/desktop/gnome/connected_servers/5/display_name "user host"
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/connected_servers/5/icon 
"gnome-fs-ssh"

gnome-vfs will ask for the password automatically.

btw: it does not appear in the "open" dialog of gedit, but in the 
sidepane with the directory browsing plugin. Thats enough ...

Thanks!
