Confirming on Precise Pangolin, although with KDE, ssh-askpass and ksshaskpass. Not solved yet.
If I run ssh-askpass or ksshaskpass from the command line, it prints my ssh key passphrase to stdout (!), derived from my password wallet. Running ssh-add from the command line puts my key into the ssh-agent, and I don't get asked for my passphrase any more. I do have a public key file in ~/.ssh. It's just that either ssh isn't running ssh-askpass when it should, or kssh-askpass isn't submitting the passphrase to ssh-agent, or ssh-agent isn't doing the right thing when asked. Is it ssh-agent or ssh that calls ssh-askpass?
