gnome-keyring as ssh-agent not working

Hi,

I'm using Cinnamon desktop and Gnome-keyring for store password. Auto unlock the gnome-keyring after login is working fine, by following wiki instructions.  My ssh key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) is showed in the seahorse application also. The problem is gnome-keyring is not working as ssh-agent. Passphrase prompt should not print in the console, but in desktop window or sent to seahorse.

$ ps aux | grep keyring
pepe     7254  0.4  0.1 204588  8312 ?        SLl  20:23   0:05 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
pepe     7553  0.0  0.1 269200  6340 ?        Sl   20:23   0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
pepe     7755  0.0  0.0  10748  2280 pts/0    S+   20:42   0:00 grep keyring
$ ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
$ ssh myserver

I had the same problem on my PC. I don't know what I did but it works now. I still have the problem on my laptop. Did you found a solution?
