[Bug 1130191] [NEW] config IdentityFile entries ignored with agent

Public bug reported:

I have a pair of ssh config entires which look like:

Host host1
    User serge
    ProxyCommand none

Host cloud-*
  User ubuntu   
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  IdentityFile ~/some/path/cloudkey
  ProxyCommand ssh host1 nc -q0 %h.cloud %p

If I'm logged in through unity, ssh -vvv shows that it tries all of the
ssh keys under ~/.ssh instead of trying ~/some/path/cloudkey.  I assume
ssh would eventually get to trying cloudkey, but the remote end refuses
the login before getting to that.  It should try cloudkey first.

If I'm logged into a different window manager (say, dwm), with ssh-agent
running, but where i have to manually run ssh-add, then it works fine.
