I haven't seen this at all, although I have the ssh keys imported into seahorse 
already so that may be why I don't see the dialog.

Also I'm using ~/.ssh/config so choose which id is used per host, and ssh-add to 
import the indentities, so I don't see any UI dialog asking for passphrases at all.

Do you have the permissions all correct in ~/.ssh?  Check that they are only 
read and editable by your user?
