gnome-keyring asks for “unnamed” key instead of real name
Whenever I try to ssh into a server for the first time, a GUI popup asks for the key password:
An application wants access to the private key "Unnamed", but it is locked:
When we look at the processes, we see that it knows very well for which key it asks that (the sysadmin key):
2340 ? SLl 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
6660 ? S 0:00 _ /usr/bin/ssh-agent -D -a /run/user/1000/keyring/.ssh
23894 ? Ss 0:00 _ /usr/bin/ssh-add /home/philippe/.ssh/sysadmin
23895 ? SL 0:00 _ /usr/lib/gcr/gcr-ssh-askpass Enter passphrase for /home/philippe/.ssh/sysadmin:
Of course I can enter my password, but without looking at the processes I have to guess which key it is:
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 1.7K Jan 27 2015 id_rsa
-rw-rw-r-- 1 philippe philippe 10 Jan 27 2015 id_rsa.keystore
-rw-r--r-- 1 philippe philippe 407 Jan 27 2015 id_rsa.pub
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 228K Nov 14 14:01 known_hosts
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 228K Nov 9 16:46 known_hosts.old
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 1.8K Jan 27 2015 support
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 381 Jan 27 2015 support.pub
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 1.8K Jan 27 2015 sysadmin
-rw------- 1 philippe philippe 381 Jan 27 2015 sysadmin.pub
I could be the "support" or the "sysadmin" key, but because the dialog only diplay "Unnamed" I have to remember which server uses which. I think it should display "sysadmin" or "support" instead of "Unnamed".
Here are some additional informations:

I tried using seahorse to see if there was a way to edit this "Unnamed" information, but there is not.
