Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
apt-get dist-upgrade pulled in parts of gnome 3.18
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Right-click a Nautilus window, click "open in terminal", then try to
ssh, you will be asked for your passphrase as the SSH_AUTH_SOCK
environment variable is not preserved and so the ssh-agent is not found.
Opening a terminal from the Gnome3 dashboard (panel?) works fine.
Running "ssh-add" from this windows errors with:
"Could not open a connection to your authentication agent."
* What was the outcome of this action?
SSH_AUTH_SOCK was undefined
* What outcome did you expect instead?
"echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK" would return something like /tmp/ssh-blah/agent.1234
Ubuntu seem to have the same problem in bug #1411174
