I think I have it! I need to unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK, that's all that's
needed. See:-
chris$ ssh -i backup_id_rsa backup
[here the pop-up appears and I cancel it]
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "backup_id_rsa" from
agent: agent refused operation
chris@backup's password:
chris$ env | grep SSH
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/ssh
SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=never
chris$ unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
chris$ ssh -i backup_id_rsa backup
Enter passphrase for key 'backup_id_rsa':
chris@backup$
So the SSH_ASKPASS etc. are irrelevant for my set-up. I thought I'd
tried unsetting SSH_AUTH_SOCK before but obviously I hadn't, I guess
the need to specify the key file is a result of not having that but
it's not a problem for me really.
