Bug Description

To reproduce(in gnome-shell desktop environment)
1. Set up ssh public key authentication with a password protected private key to some host.
2. Open tilda, run "ssh host".

Expected behaviour: Gnome-keyring pops up a dialogue asking for the password of the private key file, the password field should be focused so that I can start writing the password with out any additional action.

Actual behaviour: Two things pop up, a gnome-keyring dialogue asking for the password to unlock the private key and a gnome-shell notification with the text "Gnome-kering-prompt-3 'Unlock private key'". Focus is on the notification. The only way to get focus to the password dialogue is to click it or click the notification(all keyboard input is ignored). The notification hides in the corner after a while but doesn't go away completely until it is clicked or thegnome-keyring dialogue is closed.

This also happens if I have tilda open but run "ssh host" in gnome-terminal, if I hide tilda and run "ssh host" from gnome-terminal everything works as expected.

There are a lot of programs involved here (libnotify, ssh, ssh-add, gnome-keyring, etc) but i put it under tilda since it being open seams to trigger the bug.

Seems this is caused by calling:

gtk_window_set_keep_above

on the tilda window. I'm not yet sure what I can do about this.
