Shortcuts for "Connect to server"

[hrafninn]

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.10 today. I had several shortcuts on my Desktop for connecting to Windows servers - unfortunately, they had all disappeared after the upgrade.

I created the shortcuts again with Places-Connect to server (by the way there are problems during the creation; see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/235551) and was able to connect. However, when I login again, the icons have disappeared again from my Desktop and I have to create them all over again.

Any clues?

it could be crashing or some kind of bug

I think I figured this out. If you mark "Add as bookmark" in the "Places - Connect to server" window then your configuration will be saved as a bookmark and will be accessible (after re-login) under "Places-Bookmarks".
