seahorse does not work as ssh-agent after upgrade to karmic

[Caspar Clemens Mierau]

Binary package hint: seahorse

After upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic Koala 9.04 with all recent updates applied, the ssh agent from seahorse stopped working for me as I need to enter my ssh key password on every new ssh connection.

seahorse itself is running:

ccm 4823 0.0 0.1 165156 7340 ? Ss 16:39 0:00 /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute gnome-session

And a connection until the password prompt looks like this:

When checking for SSH_AGENT environment variables, I only find some for gpg:

% export | grep AGENT
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/seahorse-Hls4BF/S.gpg-agent:4823:1

Let me add that my standard shell is zsh.

This worked fine in Jaunty. Please let me know which further information you need to investigate this.
