Hi Sebastien,
Yep, it works. Here's my output:
conn at inspiron:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost inspiron
127.0.1.1 inspiron
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
conn at inspiron:~$ ping localhost

Note that all I changed was the first line of /etc/hosts, by default it
was:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 inspiron
...etc.
I didn't know what package to file against as I wasn't sure what
generates /etc/hosts, and that it's apparently a gnome-centric problem.
