seahorse segfault when adding remote server ssh key

[Fernando Miguel]

Binary package hint: seahorse

I was trying to add a remote server ssh key, but i just got a popup with

<big><b>Couldn't configure Secure Shell keys on remote computer.</b></big>

(seahorse-ssh-askpass:19577): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup.

(seahorse-ssh-askpass:19648): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry

Afterwards i noticed that there was another popup under it, asking for yes/no and another for password.
to enter both, i had to keep clicking on them with mouse.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

 If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

 If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
 I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Hi Sebastien
Thanks for looking into this.

Currently i cant see it crashing, and the key seems to be set on the server, but sshing to it wont use the key for login. but thats another prob.
From what i can see, the original bug/crash is fix.

Any tips on current prob?
