Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ssh-askpass-gnome

ssh-askpass-gnome fails with message that it could not grab the
keyboard.

Steps to reproduce:

Install ssh-askpass-gnome and mail-notification

add both ssh-askpass and mail-notification to the list of startup
programs.

When mail-notification starts, it uses the gnome keyring to authenticate
using a popup dialog that grabs focus.

When ssh-askpass starts second, it attempts to also grab focus, and
fails since the keyring already has it.

I then have to manually run ssh-askpass after signing into the gnome
keyring for it to work.

It would be great if these programs could "play nice" and wait for the
other one to complete (timeout sort of thing perhaps?) so that they both
can succeed.

ssh-askpass-gnome Version: 1:5.1p1-3ubuntu1
mail-notification Version: 5.4.dfsg.1-1build1b
