gnome-keyring update ignores ssh keys forcing passwords [solved]

I noticed that gnome-keyring (1:42.1-3 -> 1:46.1-1) changed the behavior of my ssh access.  Under 1:42.1-3, connecting via ssh used my keys successfully.  Upon updating/rebooting to 1:46.1-1, the keys seem to be ignored and I am challenged with a password.  Are others observing this?  Is there a new setting to enable key usage?

This helps, but seems like it needs a global fix:

Nice find, thank you.  Works for me.  Seems like a new item would be appropriate.  I emailed heftig.

Maybe it would be a good idea to make some kind of announcement with this? We are not few GNOME users who are going to encounter this error.

There seems to be even more issues. The daemon with one specific key ends up in continuously doing something in the background forever until it eats all the memory available.
