Package: pyhoca-gui Version: 0.2.0.4-0~789~precise1
It would be nice if pyhoca-gui could just reuse my local sshagent, which happens to be gnome-keyring-daemon.

There are several reasons for not using gnome-keyring as ssh-agent, see: http://dtek.net/blog/how-stop-gnome-keyring-clobbering-opensshs-ssh-agent-ub...
The main problem you have with gnome-keyring (at least on squeeze,
untested on wheezy) is this:
The below command sequence should create an SSH agent forwarding chain
back to the local-machine host:
local-machine$ ssh -A user-1@server-1 server-1$ ssh -A user-2@server-2 server-2$ ssh -A user-3@server-3
This works flawlessly with ssh-agent, but fails with gnome-keyring.
gnome-keyring simple loads the local keys (by finding them under their
default names). That's it.
Expected behaviour would be: mix auth info from the forwarded
ssh-agent (running on local-machine) with SSH keys found in .ssh on
the local-system.
Are you affected by this restriction of GNOME keyring?
Maybe time to disable SSH agent functionality in GNOME-keyring?

No, I am not, because I do not want to use SSH Agent forward. All I want is that pyhoca uses my local ssh agent, which happens to be gnome-keyring.

No, because I quite enjoy using it. Does your response mean that pyhoca does simply not work work with the gnome ssh agent?

Ah... I just realized... The current HEAD of code can reuse the local
ssh-agent and it can also forward ssh-agent auth requests in the X2Go
session back to the client pyhoca-gui runs on (feature not yet in
x2goclient).
What I wrote in my previous mail applies to the HEAD of
pyhoca-gui/python-x2go code.
