Package: ssh-askpass-fullscreen
Version: 0.3-3
Severity: important

If you pass a string with angle brackets into it into 
ssh-askpass-fullscreen, then it will attempt to parse the string as some 
kind of markup. If the parsing fails, then ssh-askpass-fullscreen will 
display no prompt at all. This failure to properly display a prompt 
leaves the user with no idea what is going on.

For example:
m...@palm:~$ ssh-askpass-fullscreen 'Enter passphrase for <m...@mlcastle.net>'

(ssh-askpass-fullscreen:17193): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup 
due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 90: 'm...@mlcastle.net' is 
not a valid name: '@' 


However, other ssh-askpass implementations (such as ssh-askpass-gnome 
and the the canonical ssh-askpass) do not have this markup-parsing 
'feature' and so display the provided text without a problem. 
ssh-askpass-fullscreen should do the same; otherwise, it violates the 
interface assumptions that ssh-askpass has offered for years.
