Might be. How can I check if seahorse has my passphrase catched?
I tried to login from a tty and (yay!) I couldn't.
I will now try to disable the keyring following instructions on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME/Keyring#Disable_keyring_daemon_components
and retry, and I might also delete one o my ssh keys from launchpad to make
sure.

Thanks! Strangely, when trying to login from tty I saw sh asking me or my
passphrase, I just gave an empty one, and then it requested for password.
On the X terminal, instead, it asks me for my passphrase, and when it
fails, it offers another key.

Best,
