Bug Description
Binary package hint: unison
I'm using Ubuntu Natty (development branch) with unison-gtk 2.32.52-1ubuntu2. When I force unison to call ssh without public key authentication with
$ unison -ui graphic -sshargs -oPubkeyAuthent

$ unison -ui text -sshargs -oPubkeyAuthent

If I run
$ unison-gtk -sshargs -oPubkeyAuthent
I get a window with "Connecting to 'ssh://
