Hi all,

today I have added a new (long waited for) feature to PyHoca-GUI.

So far, in PyHoca-GUI (python-x2go) it was only possible to use
passphrase-protected / encrypted SSH keys via an ssh-agent process
that unlocks those keys when being added to the agent's keyring
previous to logging into an X2Go Server.

Unlocking those keys natively in PyHoca-GUI was not possible so far. -> Now it is!!!

The nightly built packages are currently building and the 0.4.0.9
preview of PyHoca-GUI will soon be available for testing this new
feature.

Within the next couple of days I will add the pendant feature to PyHoca-CLI.

Those of you using PyHoca-GUI may test this new feature by encrypting
your private key file...

$ ssh-keygen -p

... and then using this key file in PyHoca-GUI. Don't add your key(s)
to ssh-agent to see the new passphrase dialog pop up.

WARNING: Make sure you do not forget the password for unlocking the
key, otherwise your key will be lost. It surely is a good idea to make
a backup of your SSH key files before playing with this.

Greets, Mike
