Package: ksshaskpass
Version: 0.5.3-1+b1
Severity: important
The menu item for SSH AskPass (ssh-add) fails quietly. The "hourglass" works until the timeout and nothing appears.

¡Hola Diederik!

I stumbled upon pretty much the same issue [1] as you, but later learned that you shouldn't call the ksshaskpass program directly and that is actually specified in the README.Debian file. This package (therefor?) no longer provides a .desktop file. 


[1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831600
The desktop file provided in 0.5.3 was only a way to run ssh-add, that in turn triggers ksshaskpass to be shown (as long as that's configured to provide the ssh-askpass alternative). If you don't have a ssh key it will do nothing, and the hourglass effect won't notice till it's timeout. It would have been better if a proper error message was shown in this case, but that would have required a proper program/script handling it, instead of just calling ssh-add.
As mentioned by Diederik the "hacky" desktop file is gone in newer versions. I'm closing the issue for these newer versions. 

Happy hacking,
