Hi,

steps to reproduce:

  1. start Seahorse from the Passwords and Encryption Keys entry in
     the GNOME Shell activities menu
  2. File -> Import
  3. Select a file that contains a SSH private key (protected by
     a passphrase).
  4. Asked to unlock the key, enter the passphrase, click Unlock.
     => I'm shown detailed information about the key.
  5. A "Import settings" dialog asks me to enter a label, which I do
     and confirm.
     => I'm told "Import failed: no user has logged in".
        I confirm the SSH key has not landed into ~/.ssh/.

It looks like the same bug as:

I've not found the "has logged in" string in Seahorse's source code.

In case it matters, I'm running systemd.
