Description:
There seems to be no way of connection to the database, but through the network. But I have disabled network access for security reasons.
Could you please allow connection through the socket?
(and remember to add cli support for changing it)

How to repeat:
Open program, see that there is no way to connect via the socket.
Try connect via localhost, no luck.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

Additional info:

By default, it already tries to connect to local sockets, but if it's located in a different directory from what the default client library uses, then it'll not work. This has been fixed in our development version, where you can specify a path for the socket in the "Details" of the connection dialog. It should be available soon.
