Public bug reported:

In my "startup application preferences" I have a script which runs ssh
forever on a loop. When I log in to the desktop, the ssh key agent asks
for my ssh passphrase. This works correctly in Unity and Gnome. With
Unity-2d, I get two dialogs when I log in. One looks like the normal
one. The other is simpler and says "openssh key agent". Since they both
try to grab the keyboard this results in bad things happening. Also, the
openssh passphrase dialogue doesn't work, even if I manage to enter the
passphrase into it.

The tunnel script just looks like:

#!/bin/sh

while true;
do ssh -CD 1234 server;
done;
