To complete on the first point of the initial post (what keys are "seen" by seahorse), what i've found (it's hidden somewhere on the seahorse pages at live.gnome.org) is that seahorse will only take into account keys beginning with id_rsa or id_dsa
I was using a key named id_vpn in my .ssh folder back on Hardy and everything worked fine. After upgrading to Intrepid, this particular key was simply ignored by seahorse which wouldn't pop up the askpass dialog (nor would the keyring dialog appear). I renamed id_vpn and id_vpn.pub to id_rsa_vpn and id_rsa_vpn.pub and it works fine now. A logout/login was maybe necessary.
