This wreaks havoc on the GNOME desktop where so many programs rely on gnome-keyring. This is easy to reproduce, but requires xorg-server, dbus, gnome-keyring, and openssh. At a new terminal: $ XWin -multiwindow &>/dev/null & $ export DISPLAY=:0 $ eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` $ export `gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh` $ ssh USER@HOSTNAME (Enter password for ssh key in GUI prompt) What should happen (and does with 1.7.9) is a successful login. WIth the 20111129 snapshot, the following message is displayed on the terminal: Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. (which AFAIK comes from ssh) and the gnome-keyring prompt asks for the password to the next private key listed in ~/.ssh/config (even if its the wrong key for HOSTNAME). Subsequent logins do succeed, however. This does not occur with ssh-agent(1). Frankly, I'm a little baffled by this one, but a non-working GNOME desktop is really keeping me from testing the snapshots for any length of time.
