Not exactly. The "askpass" setting only controls which UI will be used
to prompt you for your passphrase when adding a key to the agent. It
doesn't determine whether or not an agent is running.
In GNOME, you should see a process named gnome-keyring-daemon, and a
child process named ssh-agent. The agent process is the one that holds
your keys in memory temporarily and handles public key authentication.
Now I see that my gnome-terminal continues to ask my passhprase
without giving chance to save it into its keyring.
It seems there is a bug in the current release of gnome-keyring which
will cause you to be unable to use any ssh keys if you have one or more
"bad" public keys in ~/.ssh. Check that directory for any file whose
name ends in ".pub". If you find any that don't have a matching private
key, or any in the old RSA1 format, move them to a different directory
or delete them.
If you don't see any bad public keys, check the output of the "echo
$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" command in a terminal, as well as the output of "ssh-add
-l".
