Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
This bug is not a bug about gnome-ssh-askpass simply failing to popup.
If another gnome app already has the locks that gnome-ssh-askpass is
attempting to obtain, gnome-ssh-askpass will fail. And often as a bunk
side effect it will destroy the IO of what ever other app previously had
the locks. This is easy to see in any gnome application that utilizes
full-screen for example gnome-terminal.
Steps to reproduce with a locked key:
* open gnome-terminal
* fullscreen it (f11)
* ssh to something
Type and you will see some characters (mainly whitespace) pass through to
gnome-terminal.
gnome-ssh-askpass will never obtain focus over the gnome-terminal which is
already running full-screen. It will however eat pty's IO.
*****You can not exit, without killing it from a non-x TTY.*****
