Bug Description
Bug 321168 fixed the tunnelmanager so that it will not simply break if gnome-keyring is the ssh-agent. However, it still does not support the ssh-agent built into gnome-keyring very well.
I believe that loading/unloading the keys and starting/stopping tunnels works correctly as long as the public half of the key is present, since that is required in order to get the fingerprint in some cases. If this is not the case, then the user may unnecessarily be asked to re-enter passphrases in some cases.
The ssh-agent info dialog will never list any keys, since it doesn't find the right number of columns.
