Verifying the passphrase is something that can be done fairly easily.
This would add convenience. I need to think some on the flow.
It think verifying in the entry dialogue box would be good. If it
fails, a titlebar popdown window should come out saying:
It appears you have entered an invalid pass phrase for key:
KEY INFO HERE
and two buttons: (1) "Accept anyway" bound to "Enter" and (2) "Try
again" bound to "Escape"

A checkbox to allow seeing the passphrase promotes bad habits. I would
be opposed to even providing that option.
