I thought that too (I used Seahorse a few years ago, but don't remember
the details).  However, this really doesn't read that way: 

http://live.gnome.org/Seahorse/SSHAgent

"The Seahorse SSH agent helps load SSH keys and keep them in memory. It
is not a full SSH agent as such, but works in conjuction with the SSH
agent from openssh."

But you'd know ; and it's moot now anyway. :-)


So, there's no (easy) way for real OpenSSH ssh-agent to interact with
gnome-keyring?  (I guess I could try something using keyring's API, but
I don't know how to write into ssh-agent...)


Thanks,
