Actually, you could probably do all of this with just wrapping
ssh-agent.  Rewriting that code would be foolish; you don't want to have
*two* places for security breakage to happen.  ssh-agent can already use
a GTK+ frontend for asking for passphrases, so pretty much all the
applet would need to do is call ssh-agent with various options and parse
a little output here and there.
