Title:
seahorse gets confused when the host key of the other machine can't be
verified

Bug description:
Binary package hint: seahorse
Hi,
I'm running gutsy. I just installed seahorse, created an ssh key, and set up
another machine to recognise it using the wizard that is part of the key
creation wizard. I had already connected to the other machine using
ssh password authentication.
I then wanted to set up another machine that I hadn't previously accessed.
I selected the "Set up computer for Secure Shell" option and filled in
the hostname. I was then given a password prompt as before, but the
message was different, instead of "<username> password for <hostname>
(<ip address>)" I had "Authenticity of the host key for <hostname> (<ip
address>)
cannot be established".
Entering my password in to that dialog gave an error dialog with the same
message
and the wizard quit.
I think there are two problems here, firstly that the password prompt was
offered
with that error message. Secondly that there is no way to confirm the
authenticity
of the host key.
Thanks,
James
