that's a question I also asked to myself sometime ago... What's the reason we don't have a connection to a local socket in the connection dialog ? Is it because it would be Unix specific code and we don't want to make the app platform-specific (I mean no platform-specific functionalities) ? (just as we don't want to develop specific copy/paste/ole code for W32 users).
