Every time I want to ssh from the command line (which incidentally I do often) GNOME gives me this message: "Enter password to unlock the private key; an application wants access to the private key "id_rsa" but it is locked." If I enter my password and click okay, it just comes right back, but if I click "deny", ssh works as it's supposed to.
Of course, one can easily shoo this dialog away by pressing cancel or escape, but it is rather annoying and I was wondering if there was a way to stop GNOME from interfering with such command-line applications as ssh & sshd.

I'm annoyed by this too!

This is gnome-keyring I think... I'm not entirely sure, but it's absolutely not ssh doing it.

I just found out how to fix it (in case anyone else runs into the same problem and stumbles upon this thread):
sudo gconftool-2 --set -t bool /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh false
...And it will no longer interfere with SSH :-)
