[Bug 1011961]

[B-kde-bugs]

I am having this problem on Debian KDE 4.14.2 (Debian "testing" jessie).
I am using public key authentication and I can connect fine by the
command line, but not in KDE apps:

$ sftp -v mayan

sftp>

When trying to connect with KDE apps, I get a message telling me to
enter the passphrase to unlock the private key and when I enter it, it
immediately says that authentication failed.

One workaround if anyone else is having this problem is to install the
"ssh-agent-filter" package and then execute "ssh-add
/path/to/private_key"
