Bug#273723: gtetrinet: unhelpful connection establishing error

[Marcel Moreaux]

Package: gtetrinet
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: normal

When connecting with a server, gtetrinet emits a particularly unhelpful
error message if the specified server does not run a tetrinet server.
Gtetrinet pops up an error dialog, with the title "Error", and the text
"Error connecing: " (nothing but a space after the column). I'm pretty
sure there's supposed to be a little more information in that dialog :)

It can easily be reproduced by specifying 'localhost' as server while
not running a tetrinet server on the same machine.
