Bug Description

If I connect to a ssh host with public key authentication, I expect gnome-keyring to handle my private key password like it does everywhere else.

But instead, gnome-keyring password prompt is given and whatever password I type in is not correct. After a few prompts by gnome-keyring (GUI prompt), paramiko itself prompts for the password. Again, if I type correct password, it won't let me through.

My workaround is to alt-f2 and pkill gnome-keyring, then paramiko will just prompt for private password and go through.
