Better ssh support in kde 4

One thing I like the most about GNOME is the integration of gnome keyring manager with ssh. That is the first time we use ssh it fires up a dialog box which asks us for our pass phrase which is used to unlock our private keys and add them to ssh-agent. So we do not have to enter pass phrases later. This is donr via a programcalled ssh-askpass. Though there is one called ksshaskpass in kde , it never gave me the behaviour I wanted.

After a lot of searching I found this

Refer to the post KDE 4 version. I am using it and it works like a charm.
