No, I'm just getting annoyed that a GUI is popping up when I am using a

You're using a command line app from a graphical terminal.

...but according to Ricky Zhou:
From the ssh-add manpage:

     DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
             If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from
             the current terminal if it was run from a terminal.

...so shouldn't it use the terminal in this case? (isatty() thinks Konsole and xterm are terminals, at any rate.)
