Yes, if you have crypted your key this is true.

Code to deal with the management console is even in there already for
the password authentication mode.

True.

I did not implement this because I still hope that there will be some
unified architecture for Gnome soon to manage certificates so I didn't
put too much effort in this. I will have a look at this. Basically I
have to know if the key is crypted before I try to establish the
connection since I cannot show another password dialog if needed but I
have to request this information before this attempt is made... I guess
OpenSSL should be able to tell.
