Right now, when you manually add a server, the input is just written to the registry as-is, no validation is done. What happens is that it sends you back to the HomeScreen, which will validate the registry entry and display the sections if appropriate. If the server is invalid, nothing changes. This has led to confusion on the forums with people saying that they added a server but still only see the preferences icon.

We should validate the server right when it is added (and store the details given back by the XML, such as the friendlyName attribute). This will allow us to kick the user back to the keyboard screen (perhaps with some dialog warning that the validation failed, if doing so won't wipe out what they entered before?) to adjust the input and try again.
