ssh:// in nautilus

[Brian Anderson]

Or use ssh-add on the command line in some other window and enter your 
pass phrase to the key.  Once this is done, all other applications will 
automatically use the key.  I confirmed this with FC2 and nautilus.

It would be nice if the ssh-add was done automatically and/or managed 
from the task bar.
