Bug#211760: ssh-askpass-gnome: Doesn't work with gdm
Package: ssh-askpass-gnome
Version: 1:3.6.1p2-9
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
Earlier versions provided a prompt (a dialog box) during gnome
initialization; this version does not. I have a terminal (login) in my
session, and keyring, so things get initialized properly, but I could
uninstall ssh-askpass-gnome with no change, since it isn't doing anything at
all. Without the prompt, the package adds no value.
It is possible that the Xsession or Xsession.d scripts in the more recent
versions of gnome have made this change instead. Since I didn't think to
'grep ssh /etc/X11/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*' until it stopped working,
I haven't a clue.
