Is it documented somewhere that this is supposed to work? I don't know
gcr4 well enough to know if this is a bug or a feature request.

Can you try to confirm this?

Title:
  SSH agent won't pick up configuration from ~/.ssh/config

Status in gcr4 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a config file "~/.ssh/config" (chmod 600) containing the
  following lines:

  Host *
      AddKeysToAgent 10m

  I want it to forget the key after 10 minutes and then, when used
  again, ask for the passphrase. This works on Debian, if I remember
  correctly.

  By default, the key stays in the agent forever, and allow its use
  without any authorization or authentication.

  I'm still not sure if it's gcr or GNOME Keyring that's starting the
  SSH agent. My ps output indicates it's gcr...

  $ ps aux | grep ssh
  dsilva    428378  0.0  0.0 162652  6924 ?        Ssl  jul26   0:00 /usr/libexec/gcr-ssh-agent --base-dir /run/user/1000/gcr
  dsilva    444420  0.0  0.0   8432  5864 ?        S    jul26   0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent -D -a /run/user/1000/keyring/.ssh

  but the "Startup Applications" app shows an enabled entry for GNOME
  Keyring that enables the SSH component; this is confusing, because
  I've read that the SSH agent was moved to the gcr project.
