Sorry, no time to do it on 8.10 right now, but here you go on 8.04:

-------
groupadd martin2
useradd -g martin2 -d /home/martin2 -m -s /bin/bash martin2 
passwd martin2
mkdir ~martin2/.ssh
cp ~martin/.ssh/id_dsa ~martin/.ssh/id_dsa.pub ~martin2/.ssh
chown -R martin2:martin2 ~martin2/.ssh

Log out from Gnome, log in as martin2.

Start Terminal.

1) ssh-add         ----> Dialog pops up, Press "Deny", enter Passphrase in 
Terminal
2) ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]  ----> Dialog pops up, Press "Deny", Authentication 
succeeds

Message from gnome-keyring-daemon in /var/log/auth.log: "couldn't find or load 
public key for private key" - This is logged not upon ssh-add (Step 1) but upon 
authentication (Step 2).
-------

Seeing that upstream uses SSH keys without passphrase (see comment
above) while maintaining a security component, I trust this Gnome-Dialog
even less than before. :-(
