And QBzr handles this well. For all q-dialogs when we start actual command we can ask the user for
password on ssh access. But other (native) ssh implementations tend to handle ssh password themself.

I think ssh-agent will be the better solution here, or bzr-explorer have
to force usage of paramiko.

Bug description:
My ssh key has a password. When I push to a remoter server over bzr+ssh using bzr explorer the password prompt appears in the shell used to launch "bzr explorer" rather than in the explorer interface. Unless you notice this, it just appears as if bzr explorer has hung.
