Binary package hint: seahorse

I used to have seahorse prompting for the SSH passphrase. For instance I typed "ssh myserver", and a dialog appeared automatically.

Now that I switched to Hardy, I have to type "ssh-add" at the start of my session, like I was doing a year ago.

But the seahorse agent seems to be properly running:

herve 6400 0.0 0.3 22296 6872 ? Ss 09:33 0:00 /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute x-session-manager
herve 10198 0.0 0.3 45496 7676 ? Ss 12:22 0:00 seahorse-agent

And in the seahorse application, my SSH key is listed.

However, in the "Passwords and encryption settings" in the system preferences, I think I lost a tab for managing the SSH key.

I have a version fixing some SSH issues but not mine:

ii seahorse 2.21.4-0ubuntu1 A Gnome front end for GnuPG

I took a look at the other bugs, but they relate conflicts with the GPG agent. I don't have it installed anyway.
