[Bug 91116] Re: ssh causes evil non-functional focus stealing dialog

I am using Intrepid, and the annoying password dialog appears when I try
to push changes to a github repo.  The problem is that the dialog does
not accept any clipboard pasting or dropping, which means I have to type
in my passphrase (which is long) by hand.  I managed to get rid of this
dialog in Hardy, and it came back after I upgraded to Intrepid.  It
should be easy to get rid of, and there is no obvious way to do that.
There are a couple of methods I have seen on various forums, such as
adding "purposes=" to the "~/.ssh/id_rsa.keystore" file, and a gconf
option, and neither of them have worked on my system.  This is stopping
me using git to push remotely on gnome (and I don't want to use KDE).
