[Bug 841672] Re: ssh-add does not always unlock ssh keys

[Hamish Downer]

I found a way to trigger the gnome dialog box directly, so I only have
to enter the ssh password once.

I created ~/bin/gssh-add and put the following in it:

SSH_ASK_PASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass ssh-add

I then make it executable:

chmod +x ~/bin/gssh-add

And then I launch it using Alt+F2. That triggers the gnome dialog box.

Note that if you run gssh-add from the terminal it will not trigger the
gnome dialog box. See the ENVIRONMENT section of the ssh-add man page
for details as to why.
