Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Execution of a command `ssh host ...' through a keystroke bound via
gnome-keybinding-properties happens in the dynamic extent where no ssh
agent is active, which results in the passphrase not being cached, and
being asked over and over again on each keystroke activation.

As a contrast, the same command bound to a shortcut on gnome-panel does
benefit from passphrase caching.

deepfire@betelheise:~$ apt-cache show compiz | grep Version
Version: 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu12

Package environment is latest Narwhal.

EDIT: added compiz version
EDIT: added Ubuntu release version
