[Bug 1843201] [NEW] Unity in Wayland prompts for keyboard focus on each run of ssh-askpass-gnome

[Luke Faraone]

Public bug reported:

When using a Wayland-based Unity session on Ubuntu 19.04:

1. Have ssh-askpass-gnome as your askpass program.
2. ssh-add -c <some path>
3. `ssh` to a host

Each time, before the ssh-askpass prompt is shown, Unity shows this
dialog:

+-----------------------------------------+
|                                         |
| ssh-askpass wants to inhibit shortcuts  |
|                                         |
| You can restore Shortcuts by pressing   |
| Super+Escape.                           |
|                                         |
|_________________________________________|
|   Deny             |         Allow      |
+-----------------------------------------+

This is mildly distracting, and it means that you need to hit <Enter>,
answer, <Enter>, instead of just answer <Enter>.
