Bug Description
When I run ssh, it prompts me for my private key's passphrase on the terminal, not in a separate window. If I run ssh again, it prompts again at the terminal. (By "terminal" I really mean an instance of gnome-terminal.)
I expected the following behavior: When I run ssh the first time for this particular host, it should prompt for my passphrase in a new window. When I run ssh again after that, it should succeed without prompting at all.
If I run "env" in the terminal, I see values for SSH_AGENT_PID and SSH_AUTH_SOCK as well as GNOME_KEYRING_
If I run "ssh-add" explicitly to add the key, it also prompts me for my password at the terminal, but after that, ssh uses the unlocked key (that is, it no longer prompts for that key's passphrase).

Thanks for reporting this bug. I only see this behavior if I'm using certain window managers, or if I'm ssh'd into another (or local) host.
Can you tell us which window manager you are using, and what 'dpkg -l | grep ssh-askpass-gnome' shows?
