If you can connect to the garydale@TheLibrarian without the password it
means that virt-manager is trying to be too smart (as you won't need
ssh-askpass for the normal ssh connection). I suggest giving it what it
wants:
ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/ssh-askpass
Hacky, of course, and justifies a bug report, but should work.
