I have seahorse installed and it is in the list of startup apps under
Preferences.  I _am_ being asked for a _passphrase_ when I try to ssh to
another machine (although the dialogue calls it a _password_).  I have
no idea which application is popping up this dialogue.  Having supplied
the passphrase I can ssh to the remote machine without being asked again
for the passphrase.  However, if I then open an xterm on my local
machine and start an xterm inside it I am prompted for the passphrase
again, on the xterm, not in a dialogue box.

Thanks,
Roger
