FWIW, I almost completely agree, except for the one case that I use ssh so often that having to type my SSH key's passphrase would be really annoying. So I do use ssh-agent. But even here, I found that seahorse (Gnome's answer to ssh-agent) has some subtlely different and worse behaviors (which I would have to research to remember) so I want it out of my way--let me please use the official ssh agent from the OpenSSH people, thank you very much. This can be done, but the exact means of disabling seahorse (and thereby re-enabling OpenSSH's ssh-agent) seems to change with every new distro release (at least in the case of Ubuntu, but I think it's more of a Gnome thing). And figuring out how to do it is annoyingly challenging, at least at the time of release. Truth be told, I'm actually more annoyed by the bad grammar in the prompt. =8^) -- Derek D.
