[xubuntu-users] Does seahorse/ssh-agent work correctly "out of the box" on xubuntu 11.04?

My understanding of how ssh-agent/seahorse is supposed to work is that
when one logs into xubuntu's desktop the login password is also given to
ssh-agent and unlocks the ssh keys (and others) for the desktop session.
In previous versions of xubuntu this didn't work correctly and I have a
number of workarounds in place.
Does anyone know if it's all now working in 11.04 and thus, can I remove
my workarounds?
If I remove *everything* related to this (e.g. ssh-agent, seahorse and
such) and then re-install it all should I end up with a clean working
installation?
I'm asking because I got into a very confusing mess just now with
u1sdtool (the Ubuntu One command line tool) where seahorse was asking
for my key password and claiming that it *wasn't* my login password -
though when I cleared out and started again the key password most
definitely was my login password still when I got asked for it to do an
ssh login.
