[Planner] problem connecting to remote postgresql database

[Struan Bartlett <struan praguespringpeople org>]

Hi -

Planner seems like just the tool for my small team's project management. 
I want to store the data on a remote postgresql database and have the 
team members connect to it from their Linux desktops, yet I have a 
problem connecting to a remote postgresql database.

I have successfully setup the database on a remote server and tested 
that psql can connect to it, however, I suspect the problem is that 
planner isn't even trying(!)

When I click the click OK button on either the Open From or Save To 
Database dialog (with remote IP or DNS name in the Host box), an error 
dialog pops up ("Connect to database 'plannerdb' failed") yet strace 
reports the following line:

connect(15, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, 
path="/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such 
file or directory)

Looks to me like planner is trying to connect to a local postgresql on 
the local machine using AF_UNIX instead of AF_INET and my server's IP 
address. Is this a bug?
