[Bug 1011961]

[B-kde-bugs]

I'm not sure if it is directly related to this bug, but I have been
having the same problem as Tamás Németh (and it's mentioned in the link
Arrigo Marchiori posted).

I use public key authentication and I can connect to the server just
fine the first time, but after a while (usually if I try to connect more
than once in a short period of time), it appears to time out and I get
an "Authentication Failed" message after about 30 seconds on every
subsequent attempt. The only way to have it prompt me for the password
to unlock the private key is if I reboot the computer or wait around 30
minutes and try again. I would assume that it somehow can't access the
key's password and instead of prompting for it again, it moves on to the
next public key. I have been having this same problem on two separate
computers for probably 6-8 months now.
