When connecting a host that does not exist, a big blue screen is shown,
instead of a 'could not connect' error message.

On subsequent tries, the blue screen is shown immediately, without the
'Host Configuration' dialog, even when 'Show this dialog again for this
host' was checked the first time.

Easy to reproduce by entering an invalid hostname.

I experience this in 4.8. The behavior of displaying a huge screen is
quite confusing. It looks like you had the host right and krdc managed
to connect, but some incompatibility is making krdc unusable. In fact,
you just need to give the right parameters.

You probably have something wrong. I assume this is a duplicate of #640997.
