Xpra: Ticket #73: Error message when DNS goes wrong

If I try to connect too soon, ie. when DNS is not working (resolv.conf not done, etc.), I get this error:

$ xpra attach ssh:host:65
ssh: Could not resolve hostname host: Name or service not known
using dbusnotify: <class 'dbus.proxies.Interface'>(org.freedesktop.Notifications)

should be able to detect the error code from ssh, hopefully without breaking putty etc

done in r459, here is the output now shown:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname blah.dsdsd: Name or service not known
cannot read using ['ssh', '-T', 'blah.dsdsd']: the SSH process has terminated!
cannot write using ['ssh', '-T', 'blah.dsdsd']: the SSH process has terminated!
