RSA key authentication failure since upgrade to F11 - SOLUTION

The problems seems to be with gnome-keyring - specifically the
ssh-agent included with it.

Once this is disabled with gconf-editor
(apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components) and replaced with something
else (I chose to use keychain by creating a .keychainrc file in my
home dir) then all is well again.

A bug? Unsure - but will probably report anyhow.
