[Bug 1068304] Re: ssh not using gnome-ssh-askpass

[Bart Swennen]

Confirming on Ringtail as well.

Solution: make sure you have a public key file in ~/.ssh

Create it with ssh-keygen -y from your private key if you don't have the
public key in a separate file.

If key.pub is available, gnome-ssh-askpass pops up and asks for the
passphrase.

Without the key.pub, gnome-ssh-askpass doesn't pop up even though the
private key file is there.
