I sense a bit of dogma creeping in to the discussion.

Is there a way a GUI solution can be made to suit everyone? How about:

* Fedora includes a GUI ssh-agent by default, but
* the traditional ssh-agent is available and easily configurable
* the GUI popup includes a 'turn this heresy off' check box which when
activated tells the user how to turn it back on again, and WHY it's a
good idea to do so.

You don't have to give your passphrase to any agent, you could cancel
/ escape and just use ssh directly.
