seahorse has proven very unreliable for me. When it dies, is there any way to get desktop-wide ssh-agent functionality back (without running a new instance and setting it up in every single terminal I might want to use)?
If there isn't a way to do this, are there some instructions laying around somewhere for configuring to use plain old ssh-agent and purging seahorse from my system?
Logging in / out of my desktop to get seahorse going again is awful. My workflow requires ssh access to dozens of different boxes at times in dozens of different terminals. Restarting all that everytime seahorse dies is a serious enough PITA that I'm tempted to just switch to OSX (egads).
