Bug#493879: seahorse: ssh key password popup not visible (if gnome-terminal is full screen)

Package: seahorse
Version: 2.22.3-1
Severity: important

If a user tries to SSH into a host[1], from a gnome-terminal in full
screen mode, then the prompt-password window pops up behind the
gnome-terminal window, but still it does steal the focus from gnome-terminal.
The gnome-terminal seems unresponsive since seahorse has the focus and
the user can't press F11 to leave full-screen mode...
The user is likely to press the computer shut-down button (or restart 
Xwindow).

Workaround : type the password blindly.

[1] at least, it does has this behaviour when a gnome-terminal profile
    has a command "ssh myhost", and this profile is "opened in a new
    tab" when another profile is currently selected.
