Title:
  Inconsistent agent behaviour with ssh on the desktop

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The first thing I usually do after login is that I open a terminal and execute
  $ ssh remotehost

  Currently about half of time I get the graphical dialog, which will
  prompt me for my passphrase and store it to the keyring, which is
  fine.

  The other half of the time I instead get prompted in the terminal for my passphrase
      Enter passphrase for key <mykey>

  which does not store it to the keyring. I can add my key to the
  keyring with `ssh-add` but this altering behaviour is weird and
  inconsistent.

  I have two key(pair)s on my computer, in case that's relevant.
